Great catch from that interview. That bolded statement is very intriguing, since PR claimed to have dressed her in the long underwear when she put her to bed. And, since Bode Technology used their scraping methodology to locate the foreign dna on the long underwear, why wouldn't PR's tdna turn up on it? The only conclusion I was able to land on is that PR wore gloves when she dressed her for bed. All moo. Wish I had a prediction how this info could be used by MB or SG
Hello.
I am the anti-k, also known as Anti K and most often, AK.
I started following this forum a couple of weeks ago, but Ive only read two or three of the available threads; so far. Im a little confused as to accepted protocol for self-introduction, or how best to slip into the flow of a conversation; so I thought Id just start one here. So, hello.
I have posted on the DNA quite a bit, but it is not my fav aspect of the case. Im not a DNA expert; Im not an anything expert. I am primarily autodidactic, but am confident that I have a pretty decent understanding of the basic concepts involved. I dont think that the DNA proves anything. IMO the DNA simply represents a person who must be identified and investigated.
For those who havent already listened to it, I recommend the radioblog interview with Dr Krane:
http://tinyurl.com/ktvaqyf The foundation for much of what I am about to propose can be found there.
Bode discovered DNA on the leggings. This DNA matched the DNA found commingled in the victims blood, on the inside crotch of her panties. On the assumption and likelihood that these three samples came from a single person: I shall refer to the donor as DNA-man.
As far as we know only DNA-mans DNA was found; Mrs Ramseys was not.
As we know, several factors come into play where transfer is concerned. For example, a persons shedder status. Was Mrs Ramsey a poor or a good shedder? We dont know. The absence of her DNA on the leggings suggest that she was a poor shedder; at least, on that particular occasion.
Although DNA transfer can and does occur easily and readily, it does not necessarily occur. A person can touch an object and transfer nothing. Or, Person A can transfer Person Bs DNA without transferring their own. These are facts as we presently know them. So, while Mrs Ramseys DNA could be on the leggings, it is not true that it should be or would be on the leggings.
