ca. April 20, 1971: USACIL Report P-FA-D-C-FP-82-70-R24
![]() Paragraph 6: Comparative examination of the hairs of Exhibit E321 showed same to be similar in gross color, pigmentation and structure to the dark hairs removed from Exhibits E323 and E35. a. It is the opinion of the examiner that these hairs could have had the same source of origin. ![]() Paragraph 8: Comparative examination of the light brown hairs from Exhibits E322, E323 and E35 showed same to be similar in gross color, pigmentation and structure. a. It is the opinion of the examiner that these hairs could have had the same source of origin. Paragraph 9: Comparative examination of the blond hairs from Exhibit E322, E323 and E35 showed same to be similar in gross color, pigmentation and structure. a. It is the opinion of the examiner that these hairs could have had the same source of origin. |

![]() Paragraph 2: Comparative examination of the hairs from Exhibit E325 showed same to be similar in gross color, pigmentation and structure to some of the hairs from Exhibits E323 and E35 and could have had the same source of origin. |
March 29, 1972: USACIL Consolidated Report
Webmaster note: This exhibit is described on page 1 of USACIL Report P-FA-D-C-FP-82-70-R24 (April 20, 1971) and on page 1 of USACIL Report P-FA-D-C-FP-82-70-R25 (May 25, 1971) as "Hair brush from under body of Colette MacDonald." However, the word "debris" is not included, nor is this writer able to find any designation for Exhibit E35 in the USACIL Consolidated Report. |
February 13, 1991: Affidavit of Robert Webb (FBI)
13. In connection with this matter I examined one (1) fiber identified to me as Q49 and two (2) fibers identified to me as Q46. Each of these fibers was determined to be polyvinylidene chloride, also known as "saran". It is noted the Q46 fibers do differ slightly in chemical composition from the Q49 fiber. This slight difference indicated the respective fibers did not originate from precisely the same manufacturing source or batch during the manufacturing process. 14. In connection with this matter I examined one (1) fiber identified to me as Q48 and fibers identified to me as K47. Each of these fibers was determined to be a mixture of acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride/vinylidene chrloride, also known as "modacrylic" fibers. These fibers match each other in chemical composition and did therefore originate from the same manufacturing source and particular product or from separate products composed of raw materials from the same source or batch. 15. In connection with this matter I examined one(1) fiber identified to me as Q43 and one(1) fiber identified to me as Q44. Each of these fibers was determined to be polyvinyl chloride mixed with a "plasticizing" material. "Plasticizing" additives are chemical substances added to soften synthetic materials. It is noted the Q43 fiber differs slightly in the amount of "plasticizer" present when comparing this fiber with Q44. This slight difference indicates the respective fibers did not originate from precisely the same manufacturing source or batch during the manufacturing process. |
February 14, 1991: Affidavit of Michael Malone (FBI)
13. In connection with this matter I examined a blue handled hairbrush, specimen Q-132 (CID Exhibit #J and E-322) (See Photo Exhibit 19) I removed a grey delustered modacrylic fiber (Q-132) (See Photo Exhibit 28) from this item. This fiber (Q-132) exhibits the same microscopic and optical properties as the grey delustered modacrylic fibers found in the composition of the previously mentioned K47 fall of Colette MacDonald, and accordingly, is consistent with having originated from the K47 fall (See Photo Exhibits 29-31). I also examined two black polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fibers (Q-43 and Q-44) (See Exhibits 21-27) which had previously been removed from this blue handled hair brush (CID Exhibit #J and E-322). The two black PVC fibers Q-43 and Q-44 when resubmitted to the FBI Laboratory were contained in the cardboard box described above, in slide mailers marked "Q-43 and Q-44 PMS" by Paul Stombaugh and "J-black synthetic (?)" by Janice Glisson (See Photo Exhibits 22, 25). I have been further advised by Janice Glisson that the reference J-black (synthetic) which appears in her notes (Murphy Affidavit Exhibit 1, at 36) pertains to specimens Q-43 and Q-44, as does the reference in her typed laboratory report number P-PA-D-C-FP-82-70-R24, paragraph number 7 which states: "Examination of the dark strands from Exhibit E-322 showed same to be synthetic fibers." These fibers are consistent with the type of fibers which were once used in the production of wigs. The source of these PVC fibers (Q-43, Q-44) is unknown at this time. |
