@AcceptanceIII to thread

Has anyone tried the ‘bag of hair’ trick? Suppose you could leave loads of second-hand clothes around too maybe. Also if you worked in a blood/sperm bank, that’s loads more DNA hmm brb

Wud you wear any clothes why doing the crime?

I think I’ve shared this before but when I was on my journalism course a retired detective came in for the day to talk to us about working with the police, how investigations work etc. We asked him if he thought it was possible to come up with the perfect crime, and he said the two key things that made it incredibly hard to catch a killer were

a) If the victim / killer had no prior relationship
b) If the murder was committed outdoors

So feel free to factor that in.

So running over cyclists counts as the perfect crime then.

Add in:

c) liberally sprinkle hair from random people around the scene

And you’re onto a winner!

The thing about DNA is that it’s surely only an issue if you’re already on a database?

They say variety is the spice of life and its no different for crime, this would only work for murder what if I wanted to rob a bank?

This hasn’t happened in the UK (yet) but in other countries there have been large scale DNA collection programmes in order to solve serious crimes.

Like this one, where 8,000 men who lived nearby were asked to provide a DNA sample:

Yes, it’s happened in the UK too, where people have been asked to volunteer (or been pressured to do so):
