when the unsolved mysteries program came out and we saw that the evidence of methylmalonic acidemia had been specifically forbidden at the trial, well, that seemed really just unjust. and so i took it upon myself to try to find out exactly what the laboratories had done who claimed they found ethylene glycol. shoemaker teams up with senior st. louis university biochemist dr. william sly. the scientists have a hunch ethylene glycol may never have been present in ryan s blood and that the lab technician may have made a mistake. under dr. sly s supervision, shoemaker runs tests on ryan stallings blood sample to see if they can detect elements that can be mistakenly read as ethylene glycol. the scientists begin by looking at boiling points for various compounds. each compound boils at a certain temperature and is represented by a peak on a graph.
