Someone postied elsewhere that additional hairs found after Lee's search of the car might have come from Lee and the other Dr. (Everyone sheds hair and skin). They suggested LE sent off the additional hairs to clearly document this.
Made some sense to me.
Well...the only testing done on the additional hairs found was to see if they showed signs of decomp, and none did.
Let's step back a second and think about the events. LE has reason to believe there was a dead body in the trunk, but not in the car. This is based on the large trunk stain and the fact that the cadaver dog hit on the trunk and not the car interior.
7/17 - hair and dirt collected from the trunk and one spot on front edge of vehicle.
7/18 - trunk vacuumed and dirt residues collected.
7/22 - hair recovered from spare tire cover in trunk.
7/23 - AL's Jeep: Dry vegetation and leaf from underside, dry leaf and air freshener sheet from trunk are collected.
7/25 - Numerous hairs, a couple pieces of fabric, and samples from trunk liner and spare tire cover are collected from trunk. Tire impressions taken. This is the date the hair sample with the "death band" is found.
7/28 - Swabs taken from spare tire cover, front and back.
8/1 - Dry leaves from housing on windshield wipers are collected. Another sample of the spare tire cover is collected. The baby seat is removed from the interior.
8/6 - KC's shoes are removed from vehicle as evidence.
8/7 - Interior and exterior of vehicle checked for latent prints. A fragment of a print is lifted from the exterior of the trunk.
9/27 - Interior of vehicle is vacuumed for evidence. Spare tire wheel well is vacuumed, scraped, and swabbed. Steering wheel cover is removed.
11/14 - Henry Lee inspects collected evidence. During inspection hairs are found on materials from the garbage bag, and a single hair is found in the trunk.
Now, Dr. Lee may have wanted to use these finds to show that OCSO did not do a thorough job, so our intrepid CSI II does a follow-up inspection after the good doctor and JB leave....
11/14 - Multiple hairs and fibers are found in garbage items removed from garbage bag. Hairs are recovered from the spare tire, tire cover, and trunk liner. Stains on the spare tire cover and trunk liner are checked for blood - negative result.
11/17 - The evidence collected on 11/14 is turned over to the FBI. The FBI report on this evidence is not included in the document dump.
As an aside, note just how methodical the CSI II was on this trunk examination. If you wonder why it took him so long to do all of the above, consider that he is the same CSI II collecting evidence from the home and crime scenes. A busy fellow, and this was probably not his only case.
