From previous FBI reports I have been able to discern the following codes designate specific FBI laboratories:
HL - Trace evidence unit (Hair and Fiber)
LF - Trace evidence unit (Hair and Fiber)
SN - Trace evidence unit (Hair and Fiber)
HM - Trace evidence unit (Minerology)
NR - DNA analysis Unit I
MQ - DNA analysis Unit II
LH - Chemistry unit
MA - Chemistry unit
NP - Chemistry unit
ABA - Latent print operations unit
HO - Questioned documents unit
UX - Firearms / toolmarks unit
POISU - Photographic operations and imaging services unit
WF - ??
HS - ??
Also, from the same set of reports I was able to figure out that the FBI submission identifiers in the list of 29 CDs are (not all numbers in the list could be found in previously-released reports and correspondence):
080730003 - Debris from trunk
081002002 - Car seat, steering wheel cover, wheel well debris, wheel well swab
08091106 - Brian B. shovel
081021021 - Buccal swabs from George, Cindy, Lee
081213001 - Items sent to FBI by medical examiner (hair mass, tibia, bags, duct tape)
090115014 - Disposable cameras taken from Anthony home
Note that the submission identifiers can be decoded as follows, using 081002002 as an example:
08 - calendar year (2008)
10 - month (October)
02 - day (2nd)
002 - submission number (2nd submission of the day to FBI from any case)
Thus, the designator 081002002 indicates that it was the second set of materials received by the FBI on October 2, 2008.
So, moving on to the list of CDs that have been turned over to the defense, CDs 17 to 29 appear to be associated with laboratory testing. I think we can decode some of them based on the above information, as follows:
17. CD-R 08091106 TO HM (FBI) Minerology analysis of Brian B. shovel
19. CD-R 081213001 TO HO, Q62-Q64, 7A-TP-71176 (FBI) Questioned documents examination of duct tape and plastic garbage bags
20. CD-R 091002002 TO NR, 081021021 TO NR, Tampa (FBI) DNA exam of items from Pontiac - car seat, steering wheel cover, vacuum sweepings (note that the notation "091002002" in the discovery release notice should be "081002002")
21. CD-R 081213001 TO NR (FBI) DNA analysis of remains
22. CD-R 081213001 TO NR (FBI) DNA analysis of remains
23. CD-R 081213001 Wf etc, fSA files from 12-14-08 & 12-30-08, 3130xL Runs (FBI) Unknown which laboratories are involved, but the testing involves the materials supplied by the medical examiner
24. CD-R 009010709NR, 009011029NR, 009011029NR, 009020409NR, DNA analysis of unknown items, but we know swabs have been taken from gas cans and other items 081213001 (FBI) Unknown analysis of materials supplied by the medical examiner
25. CD-R 090115014 TO NR Photographs taken from disposable cameras (note that the NR designation is incorrect)
081213001 HS (FBI) Unknown analysis of materials supplied by the medical examiner
26. CD-R 080911006 TO NR (FBI) DNA analysis of label on shovel blade
27. CD-R 081213001 TO WF (FBI) Unknown analysis of materials supplied by the medical examiner
28. CD-R 080730003 TO NR, DNA analysis of items from Pontiac (death band hair) 080805005 TO NR, DNA analysis of items from Pontiac and swabs from shovel handle 080811006 TO NR, Tampa (FBI) DNA analysis of spare tire cover
29. CD-R 080730003 TO NR etc (FBI) DNA analysis of items from Pontiac (death band hair)
We know the results of some of the above, but much is unknown. Thus, it could be a very informative set of materials. :thumb:
