It\u2019s so hard for a crime scene investigator to know exactly what to swab, since most DNA is invisible to the eye, right? So sometimes it just is a trained intuition that causes them to swab the correct thing. Now, if they have tested everything and haven\u2019t found a good sample of the perpetrator\u2019s DNA, I do think that it is possible to go back to her home and do some more swabbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Masked man&#039;s saliva should become focus towards solving Guthrie case: CeCe Moore | NewsNation Prime\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fg97InEFnDA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Specifically, Moore is curious about the bite flashlight a masked man was seen using in doorbell-camera footage from Nancy\u2019s house that night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDNA is hardy. So it\u2019s certainly possible there is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1257322\/nancy-guthrie-update-dna-breakthrough-could-solve-case\/\">still some DNA there<\/a>, and in particular, I really do think that saliva is the most likely, and that is because of what appeared to be that bite flashlight in his mouth,\u201d Moore speculated. \u201cSomebody wrote to me [and that person] has used one of those and agreed with me that it would produce a lot of saliva, and it would be very difficult not to leave some of that behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore expressed confidence in the crime scene investigators, but the DNA may still prove elusive. \u201cAs I said, it\u2019s invisible,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey may not have swabbed exactly the right thing to find that individual\u2019s DNA \u2014 through no fault of their own \u2014 just because it\u2019s hard to know, in a house like that, where would you even start other than the obvious places?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In terms of swabbing more of the crime scene, Moore didn\u2019t think it was a big problem that investigators gave the Guthrie family access to Nancy\u2019s house again, since those family members\u2019 DNA could be ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only issue to me would be more if there was saliva on the ground for instance or a rootless hair that could also solve the case,\u201d she said. \u201cIt could have been tracked back out, could end up on the bottom of someone\u2019s shoe. But if there is something that is still on a surface, then I think it\u2019s still possible that they could get that person\u2019s DNA if they haven\u2019t done that already. Now, of course this is a little bit of a Hail Mary, but I think everything in this case right now based on at least what we know appears to be that at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Headlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the search for Nancy Guthrie and her suspected abductors continues, DNA expert and genetic genealogist CeCe Moore has an idea of where the investigators should zero in.
