It might have been overkill, but at least nothing was missing.
A woman has caused several TikTok users alarm after she revealed her comprehensive “just in case I go missing” binder she created, filled with hair, fingerprints and several other forms of DNA in the event of a potential crime.
The first episode of her seven-part video series has gained nearly 7.5 million views since being posted a week ago, with many onlookers stunned she went to such great lengths.
“Tell me you’re listening to a little too much crime junkies without telling me,” reads the caption.
In one of the videos, the woman chops off part of her hair and adds it to the binder as DNA evidence. Other parts of the clip show her adding handwriting samples, family contacts and even a list of her exes.
“This might be overboard, but I added clean fingerprints just in case there are latent prints they need to match,” said the woman.
The true crime “junkie” also included her medical records for “forensic evidence” as well as to inform loved ones of her medical needs.

In a third video, she also takes a cheek swab and puts it in a plastic baggie.
Several TikTokers were alarmed at the thoroughness of the binder.
“Girl are you ok,” questioned one concerned commenter.

“Someone needs to turn off the tv,” quipped another person.
“Gurll is anyone after u blink twist if u need help,” a third person said.
Other commenters pointed out that simply having a strand of hair would not help investigators as they need the root of the hair in order to test.
Some folks pointed out that if the binder was misplaced, her identity could potentially be stolen.
“Imagine someone breaks into your house and finds that. they could take your identity,” said a commenter.
