Studies indicate the average amount of "touch" DNA left on fabric that is in direct contact with skin, for an entire minute, is ~1.2 ng. (Daly et al, 2012)At the very least, it's a secondary transfer. It's not relevant to the case.
I am dreaming about the letters "DNA." That must mean I am obsessed, right...LOL:floorlaugh:

Great poll Tawny!:loveyou:

Taking into account distal stain 007-2's initial "environment" (moisture, temperature, etc.) & time lapsed, I would like to know if primary transfer of DNA, commingled with the blood of a victim, would be likely to measure @ ~0.5 ng. It doesn't seem likely, nor logical, that this amount of foreign DNA (same environment & circumstances) would be the result of secondary transfer. IMHO.

No, not relevant!
Believe it or not, I've been referred to this podcast before. (...& to the linked thread @ FFJ)Please listen to Tricia's radio show with the DNA instructor. I will link it when I have time. It's worth a listen, he explains this better than I could ever hope to do.
I will be back with the link as soon as RL allows me to search for it.

I don't know. If this was some crazy pedophile, it seems like he would have struck again and matched the DNA at this point. The Ramseys' story doesn't add up. And I know touch DNA can be transferred quite innocently, and it was such a small sample, but it would seem that every crime scene would be filled with tons of unknown DNA if that were the case. Wouldn't that lead to a lot of false results unless a very obvious sample, like semen, was left behind? Wouldn't there be more than one person's DNA on her clothing? And wouldn't the whole family's DNA be all over essentially everything in the house as well? So many people shed skin cells all over everything all the time.
I'm not sure how DNA evidence can not relate to the crime, I still think Patsy or John did it. after reading all the stuff here, and PMPT, and Kolers book and watching videos I'm at this present moment leaning toward John by himself. Reason being IMO patsy was so drugged up in her interviews she could barely speak, and it read somewhere (here?) that she couldn't even comb her hair. I find it hard to believe that she could write the ransom note at all.
That being said, I have nigglings about mr and mrs Claus. That whole story is downright weird. Doesn't anyone else feel that it's weird?
I just don't know, I'm not sure justice can ever be served for JonBenet. It's a sad situation. I'm sure all the investigators felt the same. How many weird things to investigate.
The DNA profile, in CODIS, was not obtained from a "small" sample, relatively speaking. The size of the sample mixed with the bloodstain in the panties was sufficient enough to yield "reliable results" according to Krane, and the TDNA collected did not require LCN, thus, this sample was also adequate in size.I don't know.

...the torn-up card from the Mr. in JBR's trash can & the Kuralt deception on the 23rd. I don't know. I guess it could all be super, bizarre, coincidental (non) connections.I find Mr & Mrs Santa just as weird as you do. The whole thing with the dead kids names on his cane- and the majorly creepy novel Mrs Santa wrote about a young girl being tortured and murdered in a basement. Then there is the even MORE creepy story about her own daughter and the daughter's friend being kidnapped and the daughter's friend was sexually assaulted while the daughter was made to watch, then both girls were "returned home"? I mean - a sexual predator does NOT return kids they kidnap and assault. Unless the sexual predator is someone the child knows well. Or lives with. There are a LOT of weird things about these two. BUT...at the end of the day, there is nothing to link them to the crime scene and they both gave hair, saliva and writing samples.

some polls have a "change my vote" button. this one doesn't, but maybe the OP/Tawny could add it (?)I would like to change my vote. Is that possible?
