Dna

Okay, last weekend I may or may not have raped and murdered a sixteen year old outside of my house and the police may or may not be investigating me, so I need to know, can they match DNA from urine of poop?

ummm, I’m gonna go with a yes on this one.

I may or may not have read that DNA can be obtained from feces or urine, but that it is a more difficult process than getting it from saliva, hair, or blood.

That’s just Google links (and a whole lot of “Law & Order”) talking, though, so I could be wrong.

You may or may not want to turn yourself in and hope for lenience from the D.A.

Molecular Testing of Urine: Catching DNA on the Way Out

Can DNA be found in urine or saliva?

The simple answer to your question is, yes. Any body fluid or secretion
that contains nucleated cells contains DNA that can be isolated and
analyzed. Even secretions such as tears and ear wax contain nucleated
cells. DNA in urine comes from epithelial cells that line the bladder and
ureters. A small number of cells are fluffed off every day, and with the
techniques that are available for DNA typing today, especially PCR, DNA
profiles can be obtained from a very few number of cells.

I have corresponded with the OP and he has assured me that no crime has been committed.

Carry on with that understanding.
