I don't recall having read any source stating whether the sample was mixed or not. I wouldn't be surprised, in the least, if the genetic material collected was that of a 'mixture.' If this is true, we know separation was successful (as is usually the case) because a single, male profile was identified, in two locations on the long johns, as being the major component (in both locations) to any hypothetical mixture.Can I get some sources that verify it was NOT a mixed sample on her long johns? Because everything I've read has specifically stated it WAS a mixed sample. Am I reading things incorrectly?

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner, who took over the department in the aftermath of the 1996 JonBenet Ramsey slaying, said Tuesday he will retire on April 1.

This was SWAT in 1997 or 1998. Big difference in 6 years.

:floorlaugh: The first picture:This was the Narc Unit in July, 1988 following the seizure of 500 lbs. of marijuana from a motorhome in Boulder. The case eventually led to the indictment of 56 defendants and the forfeiture in millions of dollars in assets. The seized assets were used to fund a variety of PD programs including the Tuition Reimbursement Program and other training related items. The photo was taken in the elevator of the CJC. The bales of marijuana were taken upstairs from the parking garage in small loads.Today, in Colorado, that would be interfering with private enterprise. :giggle:
It really is. Why? Because it matches the DNA found in her underwear. The TDNA is right where one would expect someone to touch to assault her. That it matches the DNA sample in her underwear changes the whole ball game.
There are many things about this case that can be argued and debated. DNA is a final answer. This DNA is used to target suspects and exclude. In this case it all excludes the R's.
Bolded mine. I haven't really followed along much with this case lately, but I can't help myself whenever I see someone say that DNA is used to exclude, that is completely false. I've mentioned this in many other threads (full disclosure I used to be LE for a short time before I found it boring and went back in the Army), and I know any police officer worth his salt will tell you the same (it's the very first thing they mention in the police academy and any college level criminal investigation course when forensics is covered)... DNA is only inclusionary and never exclusionary. There are crimes committed every day where absolutely no DNA is left, does that mean no one committed the crime, since everybody would then be excluded? NO. The presence of the DNA only means that if matched that person would also become a suspect. It does not exclude other suspects from being involved in a crime.
Thanks for the great post. I wish I could post this over in the DNA thread, but I have no idea how using a kindle.
Ha! Get off kindle then :lol:
I'm actually listening to Dr Krane's video "statistical Weights if Mixed DNA Profiles"
Fascinating stuff. Especially, just when considering this case. b/c in the mixed sample in CODIS we know the major contributor is JRB, yet it's still considered mixed. Right now he's discussing how often statistically when a KNOWN 3 person sample is analyzed it can appear to be a 2 person sample depending on how the loci fall out. And that's in a FULL 13 loci sample, which is not what we have in the CODIS sample in this case.

I wish I could, my laptop is broke. :sigh: It's taking a toll on my posting abilities.
