    The passage discusses forensic science techniques used to solve crimes by analyzing evidence found at crime scenes.

    Evidence found at the crime scene included a DNA fingerprint from a cigarette, a hair sample, a shoe sole print, a partial fingerprint, and a broken medical bracelet with the letters 'ia'.

    Suspect B has hemophilia, Suspect E has severe anemia, and Suspect F has hypoglycemia, so their medical conditions could provide a motive for committing the crime. The other suspects don't have known medical conditions that would provide an obvious motive.
