What a positive, upbeat couple. Considering the hell they've been through over the past 12 years (Beth, cancer, JonBenét, more cancer, false accusations, more cancer, parental deaths, more cancer), their positive attitude is remarkable, uplifting, and worthy of respect and admiration. Many...

Shylock, you really must look into this whole subject more closely. Of course they can identify the unknown contributor DNA profile, even if the forensic DNA had multiple contributors. As I said before, in the Ramsey case, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED IT TO CODIS. I know you know that, but I get the...

Are we on the same planet? Your last post mentioning DNA - #96 - was with regard to DNA evidence in the Ramsey case. It doesn't matter. The FACTS are STILL the same: Your marble analogy is way off side and irrelevant. The peaks of a mixed sample explanation is still the same. It is...

Let me see if I can explain it to YOU, Shylock (as simply as possible). The very specific locations for DNA identification show two different peaks at each site (loci). One peak matches JonBenet's, the other 'identifies' the unknown contributor: Two different peaks, two different donors. At...

Signs of MANUAL strangulation: -- sustained pressure may cause congestion and blueness of the tongue, pharynx and larynx -- haemorrhage under the skin of the neck and bruising of the strap muscles -- damage to the larynx - particularly the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage, and the...

Well, in reply, to start with I do not have Lee's book so I definitely DID NOT quote from it. I quoted from "Interpretation of Complex Forensic DNA Mixtures" (as noted in my post) contributed to the Croatian Medical Journal, 2001, by Carll Ladd, Henry C. Lee, Nicholas Yang, and Frederick R...

Shylock, mixed stains can be separated quite easily. DNA testing is the examination of very specific markers with various locations on the 23 pairs of chromosomes. These very specific markers have been established for their unique identification. Forensic experts compare markers, or...

Hardy speculation? Umm, Shylock, if you would be kind enough to read what I posted a little more carefully, as John (and I) said, "they were friends", however, some postings on this thread have implied they were not. Obviously, they were. The Stines accommodated the Ramseys with a place to...

Odd that there should be speculation that the Stines were not friends of the Ramseys BEFORE the murder since the Ramseys did stop off at their house the night of December 25th to deliver a Christmas gift for them. I would suggest that such a gesture might imply friendship.

Many of us DID read it on the television screen captured DNA Report of early January 1997 shown on 48 Hours.

sorry, no post

Britt, Ivy, Toltec - who is saying JonBenét's DNA in the mixed samples is in a condition that differs from the other donor/s? A complete JonBenét DNA profile could be obtained from taking tissue or blood at autopsy, but the condition of her DNA in the mixed sample is not known (at least not...

How can it be assumed it is not connected to the crime? It was found on the victim, mingled with her own DNA, in blood, freshly spilled during the course of the crime. JonBenét's DNA profile is complete due to the fact that there was plenty of tissue to extract it from at autopsy. In the...

The composition of Post #96 was started more than 45 minutes before the "post reply" button was hit (real life interferes), so post #94 and #95 were not in my viewing until after it got posted. Therefore, to answer your question, post #96 has nothing to do with post #95.

Forensic samples routinely contain DNA from multiple contributors. Detection and intepretation of mixtures is a routine aspect of forensic DNA analysis. Interpreting these mixtures can be challenging, but the significance of an inclusion/match can be statistically assessed. Multiple donors...

Actually, Shylock, I wasn't assuming anything, I was pointing out the problem with the idea (in Maxi's post) that there was foreign degraded DNA under the fingernails that got transferred to the panties by way of JonBenét scratching herself in the pantie area. If that were the case, the DNA...

Why-Nutt I think your WA's and WB's and fill-in-the-blank interpretations are misleading. First off, CBI knows 1. The full profile of JonBenet's DNA 2. The full profile of John Ramsey's DNA 3. The full profile of Patsy Ramsey's DNA THEN, they also know that certain DNA...

We know from Dr. Beuf's medical records that JonBenét had chronic sinus and upper respiratory difficulties (bad breath, coughs, stuffy nose) and the occasional small accident (nail bent back, hit by a golf club, falls, etc). At age 3 she had redness on the buttocks and in the vaginal area due...

In the first post there was the question (if I can recall it now) as to whether or not there was "proof" that the DNA was from a male, non-Ramsey source. Many of you may recall the television screen image of the DNA Report Why_Nut provided from the 48 Hours program. It clearly stated the DNA...

Maxi, if your health is at issue, then you must do what is best for you. If being a moderator causes undue stress, please take care of yourself first. (I did not know you were battling cancer. You need all the strength you have to attend to that battle first.)
