Bluestar Testimonial

Early this year LECOR was contacted by Lt. Paonessa in which we discussed Bluestar for his use in CSI. The Lt. was going to do some investigative blood work in Gettysburg, PA, at the battle scene, and wondered if 100+ yrear old blood could still be detected, and if so, could DNA be extracted.. LECOR & Bluestar provided product to the Lt., and the following documents the results.

I want to thank you for your assistance with the research project that we have been working on. If you recall I had contacted you in regard to using your product in an attempt to visualize bloodstain evidence of historical value.

We have completed the first phase of the project and the results so far have been promising. Your product did not show any discoloration or unwanted results in regards to the areas treated. In addition a positive reaction was located on the floor under a porthole that had been used during the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1,2,3, 1863). This location is documented as having been the location at which two Confederate snipers were killed. I have attached some of the photographs.
Thank You,

Performances on old blood

BLUESTAR® FORENSIC has proved its detecting power on very old blood. So far, the oldest blood discovered by BLUESTAR® FORENSIC was that of two confederate soldiers that were killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. This decisive battle of the American Civil War was fought in July 1863, more than 142 years before the reagent was applied !

Not only BLUESTAR® FORENSIC can help investigators to solve crimes weeks or months after it was perpetrated, it can also take us back to the past decades or even centuries and give us additional clues to historical events.

Read the story of this discovery as told by the Emmitsburg Area Historical Society.
