Fiber transfer does not adequately explain fibers from her clothing being in places they should not have been, such as on the tape, in the paint tray, and tied and caught in the ligature knot and cord. She never wore those clothes in the basement, and she never painted while wearing them - I just don't see how the fibers from those clothes would end up in those very conspicuous locations if she hadn't been there dressed in that article of clothing while the garotte was made, tied, and tape applied.
Nuisanceposter,
IMO John and Patsy are both engulfed up to their chins in the staging of this crime. Their fibers are in the basement because I think John and Patsy were in the basement hours before they called 911 at 5:52 AM. But neither of them killed JonBenet. There's no evidence against them and they have exculpatory evidence in their favor.
The fibers were microscopic and are the result of secondary transfers. IOW the fibers are floating in the air; they will settle anywhere; and they can only be seen under a microscope. For example, there were hundreds of other microscopic fibers on the sticky side of the duct tape besides the 4 fibers from Patsy's jacket. And microscopic fibers can settle on nylon cord and work their way into the twistings simply by gravity.
However, there are two items of fiber evidence that bother me; and they are: (1) the black fibers from John's shirt found in the crotch area of JonBenet's panties. It could mean several different things, including John still being dressed in the clothes he wore at the White's dinner party as he was engaged in the wee hours of the morning with Patsy in staging the crime to look like a kidnap murder instead of a sex murder; and (2) Patsy also still dressed in the clothes she wore to the party.
