collected, consisting of a minimum of three strands of
hair pulled from each of the following areas: back, top,
front, left side, right side. To minimize victim
discomfort, the attending medical personnel can pull the
hair, 2 (two) strands at a time, using the thumb and
forefinger. Forceps and hemostats should not be used. |
|
The pulled head hair is to be placed into an envelope, and
the envelope should be labeled and sealed with tape. |
|
A standard sample of (10) ten to (15) fifteen strands of
pubic hair should be collected from various areas of the
pubic region. The hair should be plucked 2 or 3 strands at
a time with thumb and forefinger or, if the victim wishes,
he/she can perform this procedure. Forceps and hemostats
should not be used. |
|
The absence of pubic hair should be noted. The pulled hair
should be placed in an envelope which is labeled and
