Arizona Department of Public Safety Begins Using STRmix
Share Article WASHINGTON (PRWEB) June 03, 2021 The Arizona Department of Public Safety Scientific Analysis Bureau will begin using STRmix™, sophisticated forensic software capable of resolving mixed DNA profiles previously thought to be too complex to interpret.
Introduced in 2012, STRmix™ has proven to be highly effective in producing usable, interpretable, and admissible DNA results in a wide range of criminal cases, including violent crime, gun, and sexual assault cases.
STRmix™ has also been instrumental in helping to solve cold cases in which evidence originally was dismissed as inconclusive, in exonerating individuals in post-conviction cases, and in excluding individuals wrongly associated as the source of crime scene evidence.

The Commonwealth began proceedings Tuesday morning by calling Robert Elsavage, who works as a Forensic Scientist with Pennsylvania State Police, and was responsible for examining several pieces of duct tape that were used to tie up Tina Miller’s hands and cover her mouth. Elsavage compared those pieces to both a roll of tape found in the lake that day as well as a roll found in Ross’s home, concluding the roll from Ross’s home defin
