there can be trace evidence that transfers to the duct tape, such as fibers on the gloves, any animal hair or the perps hair also fingerprints can transfer. we do not know if they used gloves. the small hairs on the hand could have also transferred to the tape. if there was no real evidence that the victims were injured other then by suffocation by the bag and bruising around the neck that the puddle of blood or blood around the scene may have not been from the victims, the victims may have fought back and injured the killers. I did a simple test with duct tape and put my pair of gloves on that I have. Duct tape is very hard to use with gloves on unless you use your teeth to start to pull the duct tape apart to begin to wrap. 2 duct tape is very sticky whoever was doing the wrapping it must have taken a lot of time to wrap a decent amount of tape around someones hands and feet and head. after examining the duct tape that I used there was a lot of trace evidence on the duct tape its self on just a small piece that I used, I seen fibers from the gloves, I believe an eyebrow hair, small red fibers, a tobacco flake. I also tried to see what it looks like at the ends of the tape if you were to just rip it or bite it with your teeth. dna does transfer if they bit it with there teeth after wrapping (I do see a lil bit of saliva) and makes a funny indent in the corner from the tooth pressing on the edge compared to ripping looks more like its stretched out.
I have been over the straubs house. I know that neighborhood. there is no thugs over there, they would have probley come from the southside of toledo which is a 15 min drive to the straubs house. so you are not the only one who knows the area, I have grew up in maumee and south toledo my whole life. Yes duct tape does leave dna evidence if they had to keep wrapping the victims with a lot of duct tape small hairs from eyebrows, or the head or hairs on the gloves very well do appear on the duct tape. It is super sticky and as they wrap whatever falls onto the duct tape is sealed away until the csi unwrap it a examine it.
