The FBI examined the noose for DNA. They then requested DNA samples from all employees who had access to the area where the noose was found. Every employee except Latasha Brown provided a sample. A search warrant was obtained for Brown's DNA, and a comparison revealed a match between her DNA and the DNA on the noose.
The transcript states that Latasha Brown's DNA was found on both the outer surface and the inner, knotted portion of the noose after it was taken apart. This suggests she handled the noose during its creation or placement, rather than simply touching it after it had already been left there. No other DNA profiles were found on the noose.
This video details the case of Latasha Brown, an Allentown, Pennsylvania, employee who claimed to have found a noose on her desk, sparking an FBI hate crime investigation. The video describes how DNA evidence ultimately proved the claim false, leading to Brown's arrest and charges.
