A woman gets out of the bed, watches TV, talks on the phone, puts on her hat, and then shoots her husband. She hides the gun and runs away.
Which object is most likely to carry her saliva and so be the most useful to the forensic serologist in finding out who the woman was?
- Hat
- Phone
- Window sash
- TV
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Phone
Talking on the phone deposits saliva on the mouthpiece, a body fluid the serologist can type or use for DNA. The hat may carry hair or sweat but not saliva, and the TV and window sash are not linked to her body fluids.
