DNAPrint genomics Plays Key Role in Investigation of 11-Year-Old
Florida Murder Case The Miami Herald Reports How Best-Selling Crime
Novelist Introduced Company's Forensics Technology to Investigators
SARASOTA, Fla., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DNAPrint
genomics, Inc. (OTC:DNAP) (BULLETIN BOARD: DNAP) today confirmed
that the Company's forensics technology is playing a key role in an
effort to solve a baffling 11-year-old murder case, thanks to the
efforts of best-selling crime novelist Patricia Cornwall. A
front-page article in the Monday, June 27, edition of The Miami
Herald relates how Cornwall introduced the Company's DNA forensics
technology to Hollywood, Fla., police, who had hit a stone wall in
trying to find a suspect in the murder of an 85-year-old Mildred
Weiss, a former legal secretary who was brutally slain in the
laundry room of her apartment building in March 1994. A decade
later, author Cornwall alerted Hollywood police to new cutting-
edge technology developed by DNAPrint genomics. Police
investigators then sent DNA recovered from the crime scene to the
Company's laboratory for testing in May 2005. DNAPrint's analysis
determined that the killer was black, confirming what police
believed to be the case based on a composite sketch drawn from the
description of a man seen in the area by local residents before the
murder. The article and a companion story about the Company's
DNAWitness(TM) forensic technology also discuss the role that
DNAPrint genomics has played in other high-profile murder cases.
DNAPrint's forensics technology has been used in nearly 100 law
enforcement investigations since its introduction. Both of the
articles can be accessed on-line at the newspaper's website at
