FBI investigations updates? Coat drive?

I haven't seen anything in the press since August about the status of the FBI investigation. Has anyone seen anything that is worthy of an update?

Also, I saw that Kinkade galleries were involved in a Winter coat drive and was thinking of citing it as an example under the "Popular Culture" section as a way of tying it into the evangelical Christian theme (via good corporate citizenship). I'm concerned, though, that most of the hits about it in Google News are press releases with only a single traditional newspaper cite (here). Unless I see more cites, I won't be posting it on the page, but I want others' opinions on this.

DNA matrix signature

I think it would be useful if someone could cover the DNA Matrix signature that's used on most of his prints. If you attend any galleries or art auctions, you'll notice all of his prints are mentioned as being "signed" using this method. A quick google search will show that few artists tend to use anything of the sort, and, to be honest, it seems sketchy at best. It basically seems like a way in which the gallery/company can claim that the limited print is "signed," although the reality is that it seems to be more of a signature stamp.
