Case Problem:
You have been dispatched to the scene of a homicide in which a body was discovered in a field that appears to have been shot several times and then burned. The identity of the deceased is in question, and the lead detective asks you if DNA would be useful in this case to determine the identity of the deceased. What would you advise the detective? What type of DNA analysis is most useful on burned bodies? Is it useful in all cases where there has been a badly burned body? Would you recover the DNA at the crime scene or would you instead let the medical examiner recover the DNA evidence from the body? From what relative would a sample be taken from if a possible match were to be made?
