The other two (2) staples represented in Specimens Q163 and Q166 bear extremely limited microscopic characteristics of value and could not be associated with the Q381 staple.

The two (2) staples represented in Specimen Q153 and the two (2) staples represented in specimen Q158 are heavily corroded and bear no microscopic characteristics of value.

The staple represented in Specimen Q159 bears extremely limited microscopic characteristics of value which could not be associated with the Q381 staple.

DNA ANALYSIS:

DNA DQ alpha (DQA1) analysis was conducted on DNA obtained from specimen Q370 (FBI Laboratory Number 50628001 S/D ZW UD ZZ). The results indicated the presence of DNA from more than one individual.

DNA analysis of the DQ alpha (DQAl) locus was conducted on the specimen listed below. The result of this analysis is as follows:

SPECIMEN
Q608

Laboratory #
50701035

DQAl
1.1,2

This result will be maintained by the FBI Laboratory for possible future comparisons.

There was insufficient DNA for analysis on specimens Q372 (FBI Laboratory Number 50628022), Q451 (FBI Laboratory Number 50629010) and Q528 (FBI Laboratory Number 50630001).
