Police in Germany hunted a sinister phantom killer for two years after finding the same DNA at 39 different crime scenes - only to discover that the source was a woman who made the cotton buds used to collect the sample!

LMAO!

When I used to ID type convicted felons for entry into the federal CODIS database; one of the FIRST things they did was to get my genetic ID on file.

On the one hand, if any sample ever comes up with my ID it is obviously suspect and as such is thrown out and the original blood sample reanalyzed.

On the other hand, I am now in the federal data base with all the convicted felons.

But on the gripping hand, I don’t plan on any interstate crime sprees where my DNA would be left behind on any murder or rape victims; as I am a law abiding citizen.

That was very clever of her, leaving her DNA on all those cotton swabs and then going out and killing people. She has committed the perfect crime(s).

Revenge by framing someone with their DNA is so easy these days.

This is a bit disappointing in terms of their failure to account for the possibility of contamination. As a quality engineer, I’d say their problem solving methodology was pretty stunted. There is a point at which they should have sat back in their chairs and said, “OK, now what _other_ explanations could there be for this recurrent, omnipresent DNA being found at all these crime scenes?” A little brainstorming should have got them the answer.

It's standard laboratory practice to run a reagent blank.

I bet they'll be running a blank on the cotton buds from now on.

The company has been supplying the police investigators with cotton buds since 2001.

Not Anymore, I'd guess.

WOW - anyone taking bets on how long until DNA convictions are being challenged based on contaminated materials stateside. Some enterprising young lawyer will claim that ALL DNA evidence must be suspect based on methodological faults.

“Detectives had apparently been tracking the DNA of a factory worker who packaged cotton buds used by the police to collect samples, according to ‘Stern.de’.”

The factory worker making the cotton created a brilliant cover. She has thrown the cops off her trail
