Impressed, FDR pushed her idea into production. 4 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 17,003 #5 Posted February 12 Be very careful if you plan to commit a crime and use duct tape. Duct tape is highly traceable in forensic investigations through DNA, fingerprints, and physical matching of torn edges. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
