Victim: A cab driver
Suspects: Santae Tribble
How the hair of fiber made a connection for the case (what the analysis told them): The FBI said that the hairs found at the scene of the crime all matched Tribble’s DNA. He was found guilty within 40 minutes of deliberation. He served 28 years. He was then exonerated from the crime when the hairs were looked at again and found that none of the hairs matched Tribble’s and one was even a dog hair.

Anna Garcia was found lying facedown in the entry to her home at around 9:56 am. The EMT and police were notified by Anna’s neighbor, who called 911 because she wasn’t answering her phone or the door. It was determined that her approximate time of death was 7:00 am. CSI team canvassed the scene and found a syringe, orange liquid (assumed to be orange juice) by her left hand, as well as hair and blood on a fallen table to her left. Several people were persons of interest in this case. They include Anna’s former husband (Alex Garcia), the neighbour that called 911 and was recently involved with her (Doug Greene), her ex-husband’s new wife (Erica Piedmont), and her friend/business partner (Lucy Leffingwell).
Even though inartistic proofs can be questioned, because of the conflicting reports it is obvious someone made an error at some point. The reader does not have to click on a link to view these inartistic proofs, they are embedded right in the website. Documents within the website include: The Valdosta-Lowndes Regional Crime Laboratory, the Official Report done by the Division of Forensic Sciences of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the second autopsy report done by the Forensic Dimension in Florida.
Three strands of hair were found on one of the victims, which were Alejandro Henriquez. This ultimately lead authorities to him.

Fiber evidence played a vital role in Williams' conviction. The DNA testing on seven dog hairs was part of the forensic evidence utilized against Wayne Williams. This was the evidence that prosecutor utilized to strengthen the case along with fiber. Thirty black children and young men were reported missing or found dead in the area of Atlanta, Georgia from July 1979 to May 1981 (FBI, 2014). It was concluded by The Georgia State Crime Lab that the yellow-green nylon fibers and violet acetate fibers on the bodies of the clothing of victims were a match (Booker, 2014). Two pale-violet acetate fibers removed from the victim Payne were consistent with the violet-acetate fibers presented from the bedspread of Williams' parent house. The fibers
Unexpectedly, upon researching the JonBenet Ramsey case I have found several theories, some of them make sense while others are extremely disturbing and far-fetched. There are multiple documents, websites, and conspiracy theories, some that are based on facts while others I am not sure where they got their information. In reading a multitude of articles I revert back to the text, I believe that Patsy Ramsey killed her daughter and that everyone in the house devised an elaborate and effective cover-up. The evidence seems to point to Patsy in more ways than I can dismiss. First, she was the one that discovered the bizarre ransom note that was written with her pen and from her notepad. Also, the only fingerprints found on the notepad was the CBI agent, and the sergeant that took the notebook into custody and Patsy Ramsey (Mahney, 2015). Next, the fibers of the distinctive jacket worn by Patsy Ramsey on the night of the murder were found woven inside the rope that was found around the neck of JonBenet and the rope was wrapped around Patsy Ramsey’s broken paintbrush. Furthermore, Patsy’s fibers were found in the tote where the paintbrush came from, did Patsy wear this jacket when she painted; I doubt it so how did the fiber get there. Lastly, Patsy’s fibers were also on the sticky side of the duct tape that was used over her daughters’ mouth (Saferstein, 2014). JonBenet was a bed
In November 2004, Scott Peterson was found guilty and charged with two counts of murder for the death of his 8-month pregnant wife Laci Peterson, and prenatal son Conner Peterson. It was not until one month later, the jury had recommended Scott Peterson to be sentenced to death by lethal injection. Before his conviction, there was no substantial evidence submitted during the trial that linked Peterson directly to the death of his wife and their unborn child. In fact, the only physical evidence presented to the court was a single strand of Laci Peterson’s hair attached to a pair of Scott’s pliers. The evidence was deemed circumstantial on the basis that it did not deliberately constitute as the murder weapon. The pliers were not found alongside
Materials that were used during this “Hair Evidence Lab” included: a microscope, hand lens, tweezers, white paper, cover slips, and sliders. I took a tweezer to pull out a strand of my hair. I tried to pull out one that had a root on it. I then put my strand of hair on the white paper. I had to use white paper because my hair is black and dark. After putting my strand of hair on the white paper, I then put it on a slider. After that, I put the coverslip on top. I then proceded by looking at it on a microscope. I was given a “Hair Evidence Lab” paper, before even putting the microscope on any power. I had to look through the microscope to see what the root of my hair looked like.
A seventeen year old named Richard Buckland, with learning disabilities who worked at Carlton Hayes psychiatric hospital, was spotted near Dawn Ashworth's crime scene and new unreleased information about the body.

According to the Innocence Project (2006), “On September 17, 2001, Chad wrote the Innocence Project in New York, which, in 2003, enlisted pro bono counsel from Holland & Knight to file a motion for DNA testing on Tina’s fingernail scrapings.” The state had tested the DNA that was under Tina’s nail from the first case but at that time it was inadequate and could not be tested. It was not until now that we have the technology capable enough to test it. In June 2004, the test came back negative to matching both Jeremey and Chain Heins but did come from an unknown male. The state argued that it was not enough to overturn the conviction so Chad’s attorney asked the state to do some further testing and to compare the DNA from under the fingernails to the hairs that was found on Tina’s body. It was in 2005 that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed that there was a match between the DNA under Tina’s nail and the pubic hair. According to LaForgia (2006), “this particular type of DNA, the report stated, was found in only about 8 percent of Caucasian American men.” During this process there was a new piece of evidence that Chad’s attorney had learned about during the appeals process, a fingerprint. There were some accusations that the prosecutors never disclosed this information about this third fingerprint and if they did it was too late. The jurors did not even know about this fingerprint and if they did this could have changed the whole case. This fingerprint was found on several objects that included the smoke detector, a piece of glass, and the bathroom sink. It was soon discovered that this fingerprint matched with the DNA found on the bedsheets that Tina was on. This was finally enough evidence to help Chad Heins become exonerated in
Hello, I am Anthony Estevez. I perform forensic hair analysis for the Crime Scene Investigation Unit in New York City. I am here to provide evidence against the defendant, based upon microscopic hair analysis.
The ligature was fashioned with a garrote made from a broken paint brush belonging to Patsy Ramsey. The knot fashioned to hold the garrote in place was intricate, requiring knot tieing knowledge and experience. Fibers were found in the knot tied in the garrote, on the tape used to cover JonBenet Ramsey’s mouth, as well as rope used to bind her hands matching the sweater that Patsy Ramsey was wearing the night before, consequently, she was still wearing it on this day. JonBenet Ramsey had undigested pineapple in her stomach contents. Patsy and John Ramsey advised that JonBenet Ramsey did not eat pineapple the night before, consequently, a bowl containing pineapple was found on the diningroom table. The prints on the bowl belonged to Patsy and Burke Ramsey. There was specultaion that secual assualt may have been a factor in this case, consequently, the evidence could neither support nor deny this. The undergarments that JonBenet Ramsey was wearing did have a spot of dried blood on them. DNA results were inconclusive, the law enforcement officials were unable to find a match for the unknown male
...lice or lawyers used their integrity. The police skirted around the law and use evidence that the witnesses said was not correct. They had a description of the suspect that did not match Bloodsworth but, they went after him as well. They also used eyewitness testimony that could have been contaminated.
The knife was identified by the court as the same one used in the murder. It lacked fingerprints.
