Crime Scene Investigation: applications of DNA Forensics

    A Newfoundlander disappeared under suspicious circumstances. RNC investigation found several patches of bloody snow near the site where the person was last seen. DNA testing showed that the blood stains were not human, but rather from a moose (left) and an otter (right). The man was subsequently shown to have been murdered.
