1Opinion of the Court

HUNTER, JR., Robert N., Judge.

*813 Anthony Edward Messer ("Defendant") appeals a jury verdict convicting him of first degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. On appeal, Defendant argues the following: (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion to dismiss because the State failed to establish the corpus delicti of the charge of robbery with a dangerous weapon; and (2) the trial court erred by denying his motions to suppress his in-custody interview by law enforcement officers, his clothing, and the results of his DNA testing. We find no error.
