  • (1992) NYPD Crime Scene Unit responding to a possible homicide/rape of a 49-year-old white woman in her apartment in Flushing, New York. She was attacked in the kitchen, carried into the bedroom, tied and then stabbed 31 times. Detective Arnie Roussine and Kim Geis are seen using a forensic laser "Omniprint 1000" to look for traces of sperm on the bloody sheets at the foot of the bed. Roussine has served 28 years with the Crime Scene Unit---he has worked on 7,000 cases (3,000 of them have been homicides.) DNA Fingerprinting..

  • (1992) Crime Scene Unit responding to a body found in a closet in the Bronx. The suspect confessed at the 44th precinct while we were at the crime scene. He smoked 10 vials of crack and killed his girlfriend in his father's apartment bedroom. He mopped up the blood but left pieces of the mop on the floor, and bloody sheets in a bucket in the bathtub. The detectives took samples of the mop, bed sheets and blood on the floor. They bagged the hands of the victim for evidence and analysis at the morgue.

  • (1992) Blood storage. Blood samples being stored in a cryogenic freezer. The blood can be used to produce a DNA fingerprint even after years of storage. Selected DNA extracted from the blood is separated into DNA bands by electrophoresis in an agarose gel. The pattern of DNA bands is unique to each person, but related people, such as a parent & child, share some bands. DNA fingerprints can be used to prove conclusively whether people are related. It can also be used to identify and convict criminals from blood, semen or hair left at the scene of a crime.  Cellmark Diagnostics, a commercial laboratory near Oxford, UK.

  • (1992) Forensic use of DNA fingerprints. A scientist taking a sample from a bloodstained pair of jeans. DNA from the sample is then sequenced, providing a DNA fingerprint (such as those seen at the edges of the frame). This may then be compared with DNA from the victim and any suspect. In some cases, this may be used in conjunction with other evidence to positively link a suspect with both the victim and the scene of a crime. Modern amplification techniques allow DNA sequences to be taken from extremely small samples, such as a few spots of blood or a few hair follicles. (Scientist here is J. Bark). MODEL RELEASED

  • (1992) Forensic scientist at a scene of crime. The scientist here is using a laser to look for possible traces of semen at the scene of a murder. The area is sprayed with a marker, which binds to proteins in the semen. If bound, the marker fluoresces under the light from the laser. This was the scene of the murder of a 49-year-old woman who had been stabbed repeatedly. Traces of semen may be used to provide a DNA fingerprint, possibly linking a suspect to the scene.  Flushing, New York. (Scientist is Detective Roussine, NYPD.) DNA Fingerprinting. MODEL RELEASED.

  • (1992) Forensic science laboratory using DNA fingerprinting. Overhead view of laboratory technicians checking DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) autoradiograms. Labeling the DNA fragments in an electrophoresis gel with a radioactive marker chemical produces these. The gel is then placed on a piece of X-ray film; the radiation from the marker leaves a dark patch, representing each fragment, on the film after development. Comparison of autorads from two samples of DNA is the method by which a correlation may be made - so-called DNA fingerprinting.

  • (1992) Narborough station, town where Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth resided; Lynda Mann was raped and murdered in 1983 forensic scientists took semen samples, but couldn't find a murderer. In 1986 Dawn Ashworth was murdered a similar way. Police were convinced that the same assailant had committed both murders, and the FSS recovered semen samples from Dawn's body that revealed her attacker had the same blood type as Lynda's murderer. Colin Pitchfork was arrested and his DNA profile was found to match with the semen from both murders. He was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment for the two murders in 1988.
