Report by Sheppard Estate's DNA Expert
Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency 40 South Alabama Street * Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 LABORATORY EXAMINATION REPORT
Date: April 21, 1999 Case No: 76629 To: Friedman and Gilbert, Attorneys At Law 1700 Shadeland Building 1370 Ontario Street Cleveland, OH 44113 Re: Richard Eberling, Marilyn Sheppard, Sam Sheppard Attention. Terry Gilbert
One package from U.S. Mail (Priority Mail) received from Sam Reese Sheppard, Jr. on October 20, containing his saliva. One cardboard box containing evidence which was received at Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office Crime Lab on September 17, 1997.
Item Description 1-D-4 Mattress button from Marilyn's mattress with reddish brown stains on it. 1-D-5 Reddish brown stain from Marilyn's mattress. 2A-2 Tooth from Sam Sheppard's body. 2B-5 Fingernail from Sam Sheppard's body. 2 Femur Bone from Sam Sheppard's body. 1-C Glass vial containing reddish brown powder marked as stain from bedroom closet bottom panel. Results:
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from the above listed evidence was characterized through the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at the following genetic Loci:
* Presence or absence of 1.2 Allele cannot be confirmed due to the limitations of the system. Please refer to the previous report issued on January 9, 1997. Based on the PCR results, the DNA types detected in item(s) #3 (wood chip) is a mixture. No portion of DNA originated from Marilyn Sheppard or Sam Sheppard. Richard Eberling being 4.1 homozygous at DQAL Locus cannot be excluded as a part donor of the DNA detected in Item #3. However, Richard Eberling is not the contributor of 1.1, 2 and 3 alleles.
Based an the PCR results, the DNA types detected in Item(s) b-3-b-I (bloodstain from Sam Sheppard's trousers) is a mixture. No portion of DNA originated from Marilyn Sheppard or Sam Sheppard. Richard Eberling cannot be excluded as a partial contributor of the DNA detected in Item #b-3-b-1. However, Richard Eberting is not the contributor of 2, 3 and 1.2 alleles.
Based on the PCR results, the DNA types detected in ltem(s) 1-C (stair, from the bedroom closet) is a mixture, This mixture is consistent with having originated from Marilyn Sheppard and Richard Eberling. Richard Eberling cannot be excluded as a partial contributor of the DNA present in Item #lC. No conclusion can be drawn to the presence or absence of Sam Sheppard's DNA in the mixture due to the limitations of the system. Based on Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) results, the DNA detected in Item #A-59-2 (vaginal smear) sperm fraction is a mixture. Richard Eberling being a 4.1 homozygous at DQAI Locus cannot be excluded as the part donor of the DNA present in the sperm fraction in the vaginal smear. However, he is not the contributor of 1.2, 2 and 3 alleles. Sam Sheppard is excluded as a partial contributor to the DNA present on this item.
Based on Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) results, the D NA detected in item #A-59-1 (vaginal smear) sperm fraction is a mixture. Richard Eberling being a 4.1 homozygous at DQAL Locus cannot be excluded as the part donor of the DNA present in the sperm fraction in the vaginal smear. However, he is not the contributor of 1.1, 1.3, 2 and 3 alieles. If alleles 1.1, 1.3 originated from Marilyn Sheppard, then alleles 2 and 3 are foreign to Richard Eberling and Marilyn Sheppard. No conclusion can be drawn to the exclusion or inclusion of Sam Sheppard's DNA due to the limitations of the system. Signature _________________________________________ Mohammad A.
