before brown s trial, prosecutors consulted dr. lowe levine a well-known forensic ontologist but chose not call him as a witness. i never finished my analysis, in my notes, in fact, i have one note on one of the photographs that if what i was looking for, what i thought was an upper was in fact an upper, i would exclude mr. brown. so the innocence project petitioned the court for permission to test the victim s red t-shirt found at the cream scene, thinking it might contain saliva. it s not impossible to find dna after a 15-year case, but it makes it more difficult. analyst tim goebel examined the shirt with an alternate light source, saliva and other biological materials will fluoresce when hit with this light. there were a number of florescent stains on the t-shirt and some were made by the markings of the previous
gist. i have one note that if what i was looking for was in fact an upper, i would exclude mr. brown. so the innocence project petitioned the court for permission to test the victim s ready to shirt found at the crime scene, thinking it might contain saliva. it s not impossible to find dna after a 15 year case, but it makes it a little bit more difficult. analyst tim goebel examined the shirt with an alternate light source. saliva and other biological materials will flores when hit with this light. there were a number of stains. and some of them were near the marks made by the examiner. not surprisingly the sustains were near the bite holes, an
indication they were left by the person who bit the victim, presumably her killer. goebel removed the fabric and performed dna testing, which is a more advanced form of pcr testing. the result, the dna profile from the saliva on the tee shirt did not match roy brown. but whose was it? barry bench s daughter kathryn offered to help out. his daughter was a very courageous young woman who said i want the truth. she actually contacted us after our papers were filed in court and said if you ever need me, i ll give you a dna sample. the dna analysis confirmed what roy brown already knew, that the saliva stains had come from barry bench.
