Answer:

The suspect's boot print in the mud.

Explanation:

The boot print in the mud is by-far the least likely to carry any samples of DNA or other genetic materials.

Answer: The Boot Print in the mud

Step-by-step explanation:

There would be no DNA in the mud just shape of the boot. The hair spray would have the victims finger prints, the tape would most likely have the suspects finger prints, and the saliva is obviously DNA
