New Technologies (Forensic) -- Daydreams
Author: Diana
Friday, 19 July 2002 - 01:40 pm |        | Thirty years ago who would have dreamed that we could identify criminals through DNA. What a wonderful thing profiling is and that's new too. Let your mind run wild. What kind of new invention would it take to finally solve this case?
1. Time Machine (non-interactive please: you just see what happened, you can't interact or be acted upon).
2. DNA Detector -- You point this thing at Barts hospital, program it with a profile of Eddowes DNA and if there is a slide anywhere in the basement with a shred of her kidney on it it will beep louder and louder until you pick it up in your hand. (Could also be used to find the missing Lusk Letter if there is still ooze adhering to it.)
3. Genetic breakthrough -- All SKs are found to have a deficient gene on chromosome 16. Dig up all suspects and do DNA analysis.
4. Handwriting restoration spray. Spray it on a surface and everything that has ever been written on that surface reappears one layer at a time. Great for the GSG. Not so great for politicians, crooked CEOs, etc.
What can you think of? As nutty as some of this seems it illustrates why it is important that every scrap of extant evidence be preserved, and any evidence that is hiding out in someone's attic be found. Who knows when something thought worthless will contain the solution if only it can be found? |

I like the non-interactive time machine idea. Think of the possibilities there, everything in history could be seen for what it really was and not what we've been told.
Apart from The Ripper, there's the Grassy Knoll too and endless other little mysteries that could be solved.
That would be good
take care

I agree; the non-interactive time machine would be the best idea. True, you couldn't change history, but it would resolve many issues that are discussed here on Casebook. We could find out who killed who, who wrote the diary, who's responsible for that green thing that is residing in the back of my fridge... the possibilities are endless.
And of course, it would eliminate the Swedish Chef as a suspect. *bork bork bork*!
Yours, as always,
