About
Rosana's forensic work provides context for the limited DNA evidence obtained from crime-scene and related touch-surface swabs.
Carrie Rosana was an FDLE biology-section crime laboratory analyst and forensic examiner whose work concerned DNA testing of swabs connected to the case. She testified in the Garcia–Magbanua 2019 Joint Trial about DNA-testing procedures and limited recovery from vehicle door handles and an exterior garage doorknob, explaining that the results were not suitable for comparison with known individuals. In magbanua-retrial-2022, a stipulation identified her as the analyst who tested crime-scene swabs; those limited results were not interpretable and did not provide enough information to make an identification. Her appearances consistently concerned the limits of the DNA evidence rather than a usable identification.
