Unattributed DNA and Fingerprints....
I'd like to add some fingerprint info from old Perugia Shock:
"At the end 108 pictures were taken, each one containing one to three signs. It would be too long to say what was found where. Also there's a bit of confusion with full or partial fingerprints or stains but at the end we may say that of these signs 97 could be said to be fingerprints. 47 belonged to Meredith Kercher, 17 to Rudy Guede, 5 to Raffaele Sollecito, 5 to Filomena Romanelli, 5 to Laura Mezzetti, 4 to Giacomo Silenzi, 1 to Amanda Knox, 13 were not attributed to anyone.
The experts were not surprised at all that there weren't fingerprints, for instance, on Amanda's guitar or on the knives lying on the kitchen sink. They explained that if you wash the cutlery and then you dry it with a dish cloth you don't leave any fingerprint (for not to speak if you use washing gloves).
Scientific police were not surprised at all that there was only one Amanda's fingerprint in the whole house. On a glass there were 3 signs, one of them was recognized as Amanda's fingerprint. The other 2 signs, unreadable, must be the other fingers she used to grab the glass.
We thought, for instance, that Meredith's cellphones were submerged with fingerprints since the many people who touched them before knowing they were so important. And instead only two prints were found on them and one inside one of them.
Now that we know that is so difficult to leave fingerprints, that it's so easy to cancel them, and that there were so many of them we can hardly maintain that a clean-up was performed, even just in the kitchen. The lack of Amanda's fingerprints can be more likely explained with the fact that she wasn't there the night of the crime and that when she came back she didn't have occasion to leave fingerprints having taken a shower and having not touched the right surfaces in the right way.
If we then start to finally consider those 13 unattributed fingerprints, together with the unknown DNA detected, and the other clues that we have seen (two male people running) we understand again that the scenario could be really different from the depicted one and insisting on Amanda and Raffaele maybe had the effect of misleading the investigation from the right direction."
From another old Perugia Shock post:
"Raffaele's fingerprints were found on Laura's door,
and nothing of him and Amanda was in Meredith's room. Amanda had only one, on a glass.
As we can see their fingerprints locations are perfectly compatible with the check of the apartment Amanda and Raffaele did when, in the morning after the crime, they found out there was something strange in the house.
Anyone else?
Among the 13 unattributed fingerprints only 4 were found in Meredith's room. 2 on a little calendar and 2 on the door. So not really central locations. But 4 is still an important number if we consider that the main actor left only one. Will they ever find an owner?"
Hmmmm.
ILE had fingerprint samples from Meredith, Giacomo, Filomena, Laura, Amanda, Raffaele, and Rudy Guede.
And they had DNA profiles from Meredith, Amanda, Raffaele, Rudy, and even Patrick.
BUT they DID NOT have DNA profiles of Filomena, Laura, nor even Giacomo?
If she had them,
might Dr. Stefanoni had been able to further narrow down those unattributed DNA profiles found+tested?
Or did they belong to someone else who had no reason to be at Meredith's flat that night?
I sometimes wonder to whom those unattributed fingerprints that were found in Meredith Kercher's flat belonged too, + now I'm gonna wonder who's DNA did the unattributed profiles belong to. Something to keep in mind when I watch the crime scene video that Metho's linked above...
