A Colorado Bureau of Investigation DNA analyst intentionally
manipulated data in the testing process for at least 15 years,
according to an internal affairs investigation.

Yvonne “Missy” Woods, a now-former DNA scientist who worked at
the CBI crime lab for 29 years, has been under investigation
since September 2023, according to the bureau, known as CBI.

The investigation concluded that Woods manipulated data in the
DNA testing process and in some cases posted incomplete test
results.

“At this time, 652 cases have been identified as affected by
Woods’ data manipulation between 2008 and 2023,” the CBI said in
a release. “A review of Woods’ work from 1994 to 2008 is also
underway.”

The investigation, dated Feb. 26, found Woods "Omitted material
facts in official criminal justice records," "Tampered with DNA
testing results by omitting some of those results," and violated
the bureau's code of conduct and lab policies "ranging from data
retention to quality control measures."

According to the investigation, a DNA forensics team found Woods
manipulated her work by deleting and changing data that hid the
fact that she interfered with controls and failed to troubleshoot
problems that arose during the testing process. It also found she
did not provide adequate documentation in case records related to
tests she performed.

"These manipulations appear to have been the result of
intentional conduct on the part of Woods," the CBI said.

The CBI said the findings “puts all of her work in question."

Ryan Brackley, an attorney representing Woods, said she "will
continue to cooperate with law enforcement to preserve the
integrity of her work that resulted in true and just criminal
justice findings — whether arrests, convictions or exonerations."

The bureau launched the investigation in September after becoming
aware that a DNA sample testing performed by Woods "may have
deviated from standard operating procedures."

Woods was placed on administrative leave on Oct. 3, and later
retired from her post on Nov. 6. The CBI said she did not perform
any additional lab work during that time.

Since Oct. 3, the CBI, in collaboration with members of the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation, looked into all of Woods' work
over the course of her 29-year career with the bureau.

Ultimately, the review did not find that Wood "falsified DNA
matches or otherwise fabricated DNA profiles."

"She instead deviated from standard testing protocols and cut
corners, calling into question the reliability of the testing she
conducted," CBI said, adding that Woods "should have conducted
additional testing to ensure the reliability of her results in
these affected cases."

Her attorney said the investigation's findings "support Ms. Woods
earlier statements she’s never created or reported any false
inculpatory DNA matches or exclusions, nor has she testified
falsely in any hearing or trial resulting in a false conviction
or unjust imprisonment."

A separate criminal investigation into Woods launched late last
year is still underway, according to the CBI.

The CBI said it is working to implement changes that will
"enhance the integrity of its testing processes and their
results" and to prevent this kind of issue from arising in the
future.

"Public trust in our institutions is critical to the fulfillment
of our mission," CBI Director Chris Schaefer said. "Our actions
in rectifying this unprecedented breach of trust will be thorough
and transparent."

The bureau said it is also working through an audit of all of its
DNA analysts "to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its
entire catalog of records."

Over the course of the audit, the CBI found that an additional
analyst who works for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office at the
Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Laboratory may have also
manipulated DNA testing data, but noted that this case is
separate from Woods'.

That analyst, Chiara Wuensch, was fired by the Weld County
Sheriff’s Office last month after an internal investigation that
centered on “anomalies” in her work. The investigation, which
began Jan. 31, found she “violated the Weld County Code for
expectations of proper conduct, and the sheriff’s office
standards of conduct policy for not cooperating with the agency’s
internal investigation,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Wuensch did not immediately respond to a request for comment on
her termination or the circumstances surrounding it.

The sheriff's office said it intends to pursue criminal charges
against Weunsch.

652 potential criminals will walk free because of a progressive liberal
taking the law into her own hands.

Where is your evidence that Woods was a Democrat? Did you get it from Uranus?
