CLAIM: Who killed Carelton Comet?

1. Karyotype Matching:

By using the the karyotypes of each individual that was

at crime scene one we were able to see a distinct
match in the chromosomes that belonged to both Sam
Sophomore and Carelton Comet. Both individuals were
born with XYY syndrome which caused them to have
one X chromosome and two Y chromosomes. However
crime scene twos karyotype showed Trisomy X
syndrome and the only crime scene suspect that had
that syndrome was Nancy Normal.

After running the finger prints on gel, the different colors

separated and we were able to identify the fingerprints
by matching the bands of colors and their pattern to the
crime scene fingerprint. Crime scene 1s run was a
match to Sam Sophomore and Carelton Comet and
crime scene 2 matched to Nancy Normals fingerprint.

The pedigree charts that we made for each of the

possible suspects showed the family history of
diseases, deaths, and blood types that could been
motive for the killer. Every one of the people that were
at the scene when the murder occurred had some type
of possible motive. Glen Glee's was adopted which
could have resulted in trust issues, Carelton Comet
came from prison which means he has a violent past
and had changed his name, and Fred Flimmer's sister
and his aunt Joan were killed by Freds dad Thomas
Sandstone! Nancy Normals father past away from
Huntington's disease which surprisingly was not passed
down to her even though it is a dominant disease.
Theresa Terras dad died and Sam Sophomore is an
orphan because his parents died from Huntingtons
disease. These deaths and family issues could have
driven any one of the possible suspects to murder.

We began by first identifying the blood types of each

possible suspects and from there we began to analyze
our results. After making the pedigrees we realized that
most of the people in the time of the murder were some
way related to each other, which is why every person in
this activity could be a suspect because this blood type
is a match to either crime scene1 or 2. The results were
as follows: Crime Scene 1: Carelton Comet, Fred
Flimmer, and Sam Sophomore ; Crime Scene 2: Glen
Glee, Nancy Normal, Theresa Terra

For this activity we transferred the fingerprint found at

the crime scene onto a blank sheet of paper in der to

Crime Scene 1: Sam

Sophomore and Carelton
Comet
Crime Scene 2: Nancy
Normal
2. DNA Fingerprinting
Gel:
Crime Scene 1: Theresa
Terra and Carelton Comet
Crime Scene 2: Glen Glee
3. Pedigree Chart:
People with motive:
1. Glen Glee
2. Carelton Comet
3. Fred Flimmer
4. Nancy Normal
5. Theresa Terra
6. Sam Sophomore

4. Blood Type Matching:

Crime Scene 1: Carleton
Comet, Fred Flimmer, and
Sam Sophomore
Crime Scene 2: Glen Glee,
Nancy Normal, Theresa
Terra
5. Fingerprint Matching:

Result:

clearly identify the shape and pattern of the fingerprint

which was a perfect match to Carelton Comets.

Carelton Comet
6. Fiber Analysis:

During the fiber analysis we observed different types of

hair and compared it to the hair sample found at the
crime scene. The piece of hair was later identified as
human hair. The human hair was later used to trace the
DNA back to the suspect.

Ink chromatography, in this instance, was where we

used each pen and used alcohol to separate each of the
pigments so we were able to correctly match the pen
that wrote the nte and the person who the pen belonged
to.

Result:
Human Hair
