Wambaugm,Joseph (1989).The Blooding. Retrieved from
personal library.
The Blooding is the story of the first DNA search conducted. In 1980, DNA collection and quantification was in its infancy. A serial rapist and murderer, located in England, launched a manhunt that spanned over three years. Over four-thousand men were tested for their genetic profiles in order to locate the subject. Through process, the first genetic profile data base was founded.
My assessment of The Blooding is that it provides much needed background pertaining to DNA and how it was first used to solve cases. My initial assessment indicates that it does indeed pass the CRAAP test and the information found in the book is relevant to my research on touch DNA. The sections detailing the collection / preservation process will be valuable in that a comparison can be made between past practices and the new techniques being used today.
Reasearch Notes:
1. Began searching the Leatherby Libraries online catalogue.
2. Remembered that I had a copy of The Blooding by Joseph Wambaugm.
3. In doing my research on touch DNA collection processes, I decided the I may need some background information about DNA beginnings.
4.located the book in my library
5. located the sections pertaining to background DNA
6. Using the Leatherby Library I found alot of journal Articles pertaining to cases using evolving touch DNA processes.
7. I made notes of these for further study.
