Using STR analysis to detect human DNA from exploded pipe bomb devices.

Journal of forensic sciences - 1 May 2004

Esslinger Kelly J, Siegel Jay A, Spillane Heather, Stallworth Shawn

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the possibility of recovering a bomb assembler's DNA from an exploded pipe bomb device. Metal and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes were examined to determine if one surface type would allow better DNA recovery than the other. Ten subjects each handled components of one metal and one PVC pipe bomb. The bombs were exploded, the fragments were collected and swabbed using the double swab...
