Inside Peru’s ‘Tridactyl Mummies’: Exclusive Access, Disputed Evidence, and a Call for Independent Science NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart investigates controversial alleged ‘tridactyl’ mummified remains in Peru, gaining close access to multiple specimens as researchers present scans, DNA claims, and purported metallic implants. The report contrasts proponents’ assertions of nonhuman anatomy with critics’ allegations of composite forgeries, highlighting chain-of-custody concerns, government interventions, and the need for peer-reviewed analysis.

NewsNation report gives access to alleged tridactyl mummies in Peru, presenting scans, DNA and implant claims, but critics point to possible composites, chain of custody issues, and demand independent peer review. #Peru #TridactylMummies #ForensicScience

Forensic Friday Fact 🧬

Trace evidence such as fibres or hair can support an investigation, but it rarely proves guilt alone. Its value lies in association, not certainty, and must be interpreted alongside other findings.

Iowa House approves arrest-based DNA collection bill after heated privacy debate The Iowa House passed House File 2624 as amended, allowing law enforcement to collect limited DNA samples by cheek swab from people arrested for felonies and certain violent aggravated misdemeanors; supporters cited cold-case closures while opponents warned of Fourth Amendment and privacy risks, particularly for minors. Vote: 57-29 (14 absent).

The Iowa House has just approved a controversial bill allowing police to collect DNA from arrested individuals, sparking intense debate over privacy and civil rights.

Forensic Friday Fact 🧬

Fibres can transfer during contact. Natural fibres (e.g. cotton, wool) differ microscopically from synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester, nylon). Comparing type, colour and structure can help link people, places and objects.

Committee advances bill to treat fentanyl‑precursor mixtures as fentanyl for charging The Senate Judiciary Committee gave SB309 a favorable report after sponsors and forensic experts argued fentanyl mixed with the precursor 4‑ANPP should be charged as fentanyl; some senators raised concerns about mandatory minimums and judicial discretion.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has taken a significant step towards altering how fentanyl precursor mixtures are charged, raising questions about public safety and judicial discretion.

FBI researcher says protein sequencing could help compare hairs when DNA fails Dr. Joseph Donfack of the FBI presented studies showing protein sequencing via liquid chromatographymass spectrometry can yield usable protein profiles from short hair shafts and may complement microscopic hair comparison and DNA testing, while noting methodological and statistical hurdles remain.

Dr. Joseph Donfack reveals groundbreaking research that suggests protein sequencing could revolutionize forensic hair analysis when DNA tests yield inconclusive results.

NIST researcher presents model estimates of vanishingly small false-positive rates for a ballistic matching method, urges more testing Dr. Forberger of NIST presented modeling and test-data for the congruent matching cells (CMC) method for comparing breech-face impressions, showing model-based false-positive probabilities as low as “10 to the minus 56” in a constrained dataset while stressing substantial measurement and modeling uncertainties and the need for larger databases and testing before casework deployment.

NIST's Dr. Forberger reveals astonishingly low false-positive rates in forensic ballistics, but warns that significant uncertainties remain before these findings can be applied in court.

FBI lab tests 3D firearm-scanning tools, recalls evidence after virtual review yields new ID Eric Smith of the FBI Laboratory described how the lab has integrated 3D scanning and virtual comparison into firearm/toolmark work, reporting thousands of virtual comparisons, few errors overall, and one case where a virtual review led to evidence being recalled for reanalysis.

The FBI Laboratory has revolutionized firearm analysis with cutting-edge 3D scanning technology, even recalling evidence for reanalysis after virtual comparisons revealed new identifications.
