How? Do you think they can tell by just looking?
The only option for the lip balm is a full DNA, it makes sense to do the same on the blanket at the same time.
Hopeful for a speedy outcome.
They can only tell by looking if they hold their mouth just right, throw salt over their shoulder, squint into the sun, and click their ruby red slippers three times.
So, no, I don't think they can tell by just looking. But if I understand blood testing correctly, a determination of human or animal blood can sometimes be made within 30 minutes. And once they know the blood is from a human, then a full DNA test would probably follow, which I imagine is good police procedure. Because if the blood on the collie's collar is human, but not Susan's, then the police have another problem. If it is Susan's, they can totally focus the next search on the area hippy hippy has identified as the place the collie encountered the blood.
I agree, a full DNA profile will be very helpful no matter what. I, too, hope for a speedy outcome.
(1pinklilies, perhaps tomorrow you should get out on the other side of the bed. )
ahhhh the Daily Mail, we love it here in the UK, it makes good loo roll (along with the "red top" papers). I would take anything they write (and I mean "write" in the loosest sense of the word) with a bucket of salt oh & ignore the ignoramus readership too!
Still crossing my fingers for Jill & HH to have success in this case! :grouphug:
DNA not Susan's, says Police Scotland: http://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/lo...-missing-susan-mclean-police-confirm-1.892412
I find it most remarkable that NO DNA was found on the lip balm. Hope they are re-doing the analysis.

Scientists testing the animals collar and blanket said the DNA was possibly human but was not that of Susan McLean.

That quote from the article makes me wonder if the DNA was only "possibly" human, how can they get a full enough sample to know for sure it wasn't hers? Am I making sense?? lol If they have a good DNA profile, they should be able to tell for sure if it's human or not? Anyone know more on this because I have no clue. MOOScientists testing the animals collar and blanket said the DNA was possibly human but was not that of Susan McLean.
Is it unusual that they can definitively rule out that it was Susan's blood, but not whether it was human or not? That just sounds strange, but I don't know anything about the difference between human and animal DNA.
