Settle a bet. There's a steak 'n lobster dinner riding on it.

Feel free to wade in...ONLY if you seriously know, thanks!

Watching yet another whodunnit on Discovery Investigation, and the 'conversation' drifted to actually how long does it take to get DNA tests back now. Not 1990....not 3 years ago...NOW.

If you know, or can shed a light on the correct answer, that would be great. Can't find anything about turnaround DNA testing times online so I have to reach out to the smartest people on the internet! Thanks in advance!

How long does forensic DNA testing take?

Forensic DNA testing takes about 24-72 hours but the amount of time that it takes to take DNA from a crime scene can span as long as 14 days.
