As a scientist, I understand science too. The chances that reliable DNA evidence will be obtained at a crime scene such as the ones in Sharp Objects and used appropriately to prosecute the correct person or persons are not as high as you think.

People get convicted on flimsy dna evidence all the time. But that’s not my point.

the dead girls would be covered in dna from their murderers and trace evidence from where they were actually killed. Highly unlikely that it wouldn’t have been mentioned. Defense would inevitably bring it up to possibly clear their client.

Maybe HBO will will come up with CSI: Wind Gap so we can enjoy the big reveals during Adora’s trial. I doubt the dead girls were covered in DNA from their killers, or anyone was swabbing behind their ears to see if they could find any silica from Adora’s Blue Lagoon mud mask supply, but weirder things have happened. On CSI shows.

Again I don’t watch csi.

Two girls were held captive and tortured by a group of 13 year olds, no blade of grass/speck of dirt/carpet fiber was recovered from either body? Or even a partial finger print from the painted fingernails?

Look, if the story was so dependent on finding blood under the weepy boy’s bed, but nothing else. That’s just lack of imagination on the author’s part.

Another hole—amma wiped her prints from the pliers but not the blood?

[Anonymous]

From one website trying to explain the plot holes, “The logistics of how Amma, Jodes, and Kelsey moved around the bodies or kept their mouths shut during the entire investigation is unclear...”

No sh*t. These girls didn’t drive. So they roller skated dead bodies around town or just call an Uber?

What’s the hole? Amma is 13.

Then why wipe one but not the other? You can actually see one but not the other, so she wiped off what she couldn’t see and left what she could see.
If the pliers were wiped of prints, adora’s lawyer could claim circumstancial evidence.

Again Amma was 13 and not a criminal mastermind which makes getting away with 2 murder let alone 1 with her little friends, just ridiculous.

So how did Natalie’s body get placed in the middle of town, in the middle of the day by three 13 year old girls?

Did she wipe prints? A tool found in a house would reasonably be expected to have the occupant’s prints on them, crime or no.

The skates weren’t surgically attached, first off. Second, who said the body was placed in the middle of the day? Three or four 13 year old girls could easily kill another girl, carry/drag her body behind a shed or into the woods to move to the alley at night. Via “borrowed” car, or a golf cart like Amma had in the book. Not everything needs to be spelled out.

I don’t know, but if her prints were on them she’s need to be eliminated as a suspect. If only adora’s prints were on them, there’s no way she would have not cleaned the blood off them or just gotten rid of them all together.

It says so on one of the websites trying to explain all the plot holes.

Three girls could not easily move a dead body around town. That’s silly.

And the police believed that Adora wrestled teen aged Ann Nash off her bike, bashed in her head with a rock, dragged the body single handedly to a remote part of the woods. Mmm...okay.
