A private Virginia lab that formerly processed prison-inmate DNA for Ohio says it never received a sample of suspected serial killer Anthony Sowell's DNAprivate DNA lab in Virginia denies that it ever received a sample of Anthony Sowell’s DNA. It also claims that the State of Ohio has no reliable method of tracing what samples have been sent out.

Said Richard T. Bostwick, attorney and secretary for Bostwick Laboratories Inc. in an email:

The state of Ohio kept no manifest or tracking mechanism of the samples that it sent. Samples were simply sent by bulk mail.
Bostwick also says that his lab has a database of tens of thousands of samples, with detailed manifests of everything sent to them. They follow strict chain of custody standards.

Nothing regarding Sowell can be found in any of their records.

Prison spokeswoman JoEllen Smith says prison officials believe that Sowell’s sample was sent with thousands of others taken at the time according to protocols given to them by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation.

Wonder if the prison asked if they recieved all the other specimens that day????????

OIG? really DOJ? really lab locations for sale or lease? really specimens never, ever recieved? really number of employees decrease significantly? really well some things are as interesting as all the sex that has seemed to take place, answer to the question, what makes this place so interesting its like a big mutliple choice.

CLEVELAND - A prison DNA sample taken more than a decade ago from a man charged with the killing of 11 women and dumping their bodies around his property disappeared and was never entered into national law enforcement databases, a newspaper reported.

The sample taken from Anthony Sowell when he was in prison in the 1990s was sent in an envelope addressed to a private lab in Virginia but was never returned to the state, Eve Mueller, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Mike DeWine, told the Plain Dealer of Cleveland for a story Tuesday.

The paper reported that state officials don't know where that sample is.

"I don't know if it got lost in the mail or if it got lost in the Virginia lab," Mueller said. "Nobody knows what happened to it after that."

At the time the sample was taken, Sowell was in prison serving a 15-year sentence for attempted rape.

Sowell, who has pleaded not guilty, could face the death penalty if convicted.

The state's contract with Virginia-based Fairfax Identity Labs ended in 2006.

Officials from Commonwealth Biotechnologies Inc., which owns the Fairfax lab, did not return calls or emails from the newspaper Tuesday. A message was left after hours by The Associated Press seeking comment
 






All you need to know is that all signs point to this company becoming one location in Florida, and just because the idiots that run the place don't talk to the media because they are a "private company," that doesn't mean that NO ONE that has ever worked there is going to remain silent. Stupid, stupid company.

That should read, "that doesn't mean that NO ONE that has ever worked there is going to talk." I rushed myself in sending that and didn't fix the mistake. Almost seems like a typical e-mail sent by management at Bostwick Laboratories.

With the big and getting bigger Medicare cuts next year. Plus the issue that CMS and the OIG are going to require that a qualified pathologist personally screen slides or images by reviewing the entire area of cells, or that a cytotechnologist employed by the facility prescreen cases for pathologists that work in the same or an "affiliated" facility, or the professional component of the CPT coding will be paid to the laboratory that performs the initial review...etc...etc...Bye Bye Bostwick
