Wacker: DNA question (UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO Hi Captain Hur, I tried contacting you telephonically today but did not get an answer and there was not a voice messaging system. I will be available at the laboratory all this week, typically until about 3pm your time. I will also try to contact you. In answering your questions below in general, my testing cannot determine conclusively if the semen deposited onto the shorts is from vaginal drainage or from deposition of semen directly onto the genitals, shorts, etc. DNA can determine who may have come in contact with an item but not when or necessarily how the contact occurred. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. V/R, Christie B.

Wacker: DNA question Dr. Johnson, I know we have spoken on several occasions, but I was just reviewing the materials in the Wacker case and I had a few questions for you. 1. According to your tests, you concluded with very little possibility for error that the only DNA present was from Brooder and Wacker, however, would it be possible for the semen to have been transferred to the shorts had it been on the outside of her vagina? Alternatively, is there conclusive evidence from the tests that the semen was inside the vagina? 2. Do your tests conclusively show that sexual intercourse occurred? 3. Could mutual masturbation, where Wacker ejaculated in the area of Brooder's vagina, have caused the semen to transfer to the shorts Brooder put on? Thanks. Christian P.
