Just to be clear, the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit isolates a massive quantity of pure DNA samples for DNA profiling. Because of the quantity and quality of the sample, any of the DNA profiling processes will give accurate results in just a few hours:
- Restriction fragment length polymorphism
- Polymerase chain reaction
- Short tandem repeats
- Amplified fragment length polymorphism

The next question often asked:
Was Rudy Guede’s DNA profile available in the database for comparison?
Yes, Rudy’s DNA profile was on file before the murder of Meredith Kercher.
This has been verified by the prosecution. Dateline NBC, The Telegraph in the UK and others have reported: “samples taken from the body were found to match samples which police already had on file following his earlier arrests.”
Rudy Guede was in the DNA database inclusive of his mug-shots for immediate retrieval.
Trying to blur their previous proclamation, the prosecution later changed their story to having Rudy’s DNA from a toothbrush. They were camouflaging the “elephant in the room” with pink lipstick! As already stated above, when they got back test results, it identified Rudy Guede. What the prosecution is camouflaging is that the results came back from their own crime lab (not some mail order lab in North Korea) in 18 hours, not 18 days.
