Reliability of Hair and Fiber Crime Scene Data

Hair and fiber evidence can be a key factor of data that can be gathered at the scene of the crime. With the addition of hair in the analysis it enables the investigators to be able to determine the race and sex of the attacker/assaulter. Also it allows them to narrow down their suspects due to the characteristics of the hair. Along with hair, fiber is also very important in solving a crime. The fibers found in a crime scene can help determine what the criminal was wearing at that time. Also if the fabric the criminal was wearing at the time is rare, uncommon or if it was specially made, it helps narrow down the numbers until you only have a very slim amount of people.

  1. Wow, good job! From your post, I conclude that it's very reliable. I mean, look at the identical, and then the unidentical! It looks to me like it's a hugely important part of any forensic crime scene :0
