Lab report from Dr. Mohammad Tahir addressed to Terry Gilbert. The findings are based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of DNA. Blood evidence collected from the mattress and closet stain was tested along with DNA taken from Sam Sheppard\u27s remains and standard saliva samples submitted by Sam Reese Sheppard. Report also references Tahir\u27s 1997 report.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/sheppard_dna/1002/thumbnail.jp
