At the end of June 2008, Attorney General Dobroslav Tmka announced that the special investigation team would conclude its investigation of the case and publish is findings by the end of August. In July 2008, the special task force carried out one last experiment; they wrote on the backs of figurants in order to establish whether a pen leaves marks on skin. One of the figurants was standing up while the other was lying on the stomach; after one or two hours, the writing marks disappeared from both of their backs.

As far as the inscription on the garment’s back side goes, the experts concluded that the random contact of the pen and the garment was without a trace, which means that the inscription was most probably made on a hard surface as opposed to a body. Another test was supposed to confirm or disprove whether the envelope in which the victim had received her identity papers contained traces of DNA and saliva and, if so, whether they matched those of the victim. When the interior minister publicly branded the victim a liar, he claimed that the envelope’s sealing strip contained her saliva, which according to him proved that she had posted the envelope herself.
