Brennan, Wendell and others in “The Memories in the Shallow Grave”

What are these x-rays?

The paint had hardened, so I x-rayed each glob to see if there was anything inside.

We didn't want to break it open in case it would destroy evidence.

What about 6F3?

It looks like tree sap or resin.

Enlarge the image, please.

That's not sap.

It looks like chewing gum.

Okay, even if it is, the dye and the polyethylene, the paint would have destroyed the DNA.

We don't need DNA, do we Mr. Bray?

Of course not. I should have seen that. I'm sorry.

Excuse me, the boss here needs an explanation.

Look at the image. There is a clear impression of the tooth in the gum. That's as clear as a fingerprint.

If I freeze the paintball I should be able to extract the gum without compromising the shape.

I'll tell Booth.

She's having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb.

Seriously.
