Question for Smart Duke People

[EarlJam]

While cleaning up today, I noticed a quarter-sized (approximate) blood stain on my carpet. My question: If it's older than six months old, does the DNA evidenc....um, I mean, the DNA codes or what not just break down and become undetectable?

Does Tilex help?

Just asking.

Thanks.

Okay, I tried to post a reply but was told the path did not exist. This not being the DBR, I was surprised that the mods would have taken down the thread. Then I thought that maybe EJ took it down himself. But now it's back. So...

No, my friend, neither time nor bleach will get rid of the DNA codes. You are, hypothetically, screwed.

I would recommend a carpet knife (for the carpet AND pad) and a fire. A hole in your carpet may be incriminating, but DNA could be damning.

Just recarpet the whole place, and make sure the carpet is disposed of in a place that can't be linked to you, i.e. the closest dumpster.

The same knife? I got rid of that months ago. You see....oh. Or a diff.....................oh. I see where you're going. Okay. Wow. That's good. That's really good. How about a new carpet alltogether?

Remove the offending part...dispose of it then replace the carpet. Even if they trace the entire carpet to you (hair/fiber evidence) the DNA will be nowhere to be found.

Did your neighbor park in your space again?

"...linked to me...?"

What are you suggesting? I've done nothing. Nothing I tell you! Just because my neighbor is such a selfish soul sucking compassion vampire who's been missing for 1 year, eight months, one week and four days, that doesn't mean I'd....................well, nevermind.

I appreciate the feedback.

Many thanks,

Um, I'd probably avoid the "closest dumpster" myself. ;)
