Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[Eva Elisabeth]

Even if you have no reliable source of Lincoln's DNA to compare to, you could find out if there was two different people's blood on the garmets, especially on Keene's dress fragment. And no, dried blood is an excellent source, and the DNA would most likely not lose reliability due to the length of time. Just recently, 19 living descendants of a 5000 year old mummy ("Ötzi"), discovered in the Alps, could be found and proved via DNA tests, and AFAIK mainly dried blood from the mummy's wounds was used therefor.
