A newly released document that is vital to the homicide investigation of 69-year-old Richard Oland has revealed that DNA profile of blood prints found on his son’s jacket has positively matched the DNA of New Brunswick businessman who was found dead in his uptown Saint John office on July 7, 2011. The brown Hugo Boss sports jacket was seized by police from the bedroom closet of 45-year-old Dennis Oland almost one week after his father’s body was discovered.

A sworn affidavit authorized by Sgt. Tony Hayes, of the Saint John Police Force, reported that “the estimated probability of selecting an unrelated individual at random from the Canadian Caucasian population with the same profile was one in 180 million.” It was explained that the jacket’s right sleeve, both cuffs, and chest area all tested positive match for Richard Oland’s blood, forensic lab results from March 1, 2012, and June 26, 2012 concluded.

The jacket was found to have a dry-cleaning tag attached that appeared to correspond to a seized dry-cleaning receipt dated July 8, 2011. Hayes stated that “this is two days after Richard Oland was murdered and the morning after Dennis Oland was interrogated.” Police has used the affidavit to acquire a general warrant and two production orders, for a dry cleaners and a bank, from a provincial court judge last fall. While officially no charges have been laid, previously released search warrants show that Saint John police consider Dennis Oland the prime suspect and indicate a possible financial motive.
