Martz LC-MS/MS testing graphs of rear gate stain Q204 (People's 544 series)
Four LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry) graphs produced by FBI Agent Roger Martz from testing of Q204 (rear gate blood) in positive ion mode, plus a known EDTA control using Simpson's reference blood on cotton swatch (People's 544-A through 544-D). People's 544-E is a separate chromatography chart from the same back gate evidence showing the 160 and 132 ion peaks; Martz interpreted the results as showing no full daughter spectrum in the evidence stain, inconsistent with preserved blood, while Rieders disputed the interpretation. Raw full-daughter-spectrum data for the gate and sock stains was generated but subsequently destroyed and never printed.
