Chapter 6 - THE CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY GAP

The original pathology sample had not gone directly from hospital archive to laboratory.

It passed through:

Kincaid Strategic Holdings legal intake.

Why?

Marcus said the hospital required attorney coordination.

The hospital said:

“No.”

Records showed the sealed biological sample left the hospital at 10:22 a.m.

Courier log showed delivery to Marcus’s office at 11:04.

The testing laboratory did not receive a sealed package until:

4:47 p.m.

Five hours.

No documented reason.

Then the lab found something worse.

The accession number on the sample tube matched Charles’s hospital file.

The tissue profile did not.

The sample belonged to an unrelated male.

Someone had substituted it.
