#3, more on fibers - mid-depo

Q. Was there any other fibers found on the duct tape, other than the fibers that Mr. Hoffman had
referred you to with respect to Patsy Ramsey's sweater or jacket?

A. I believe so, yes.

Q. And it's also true that those fibers were not capable or there was no identification made, no
source found in the investigation, true?

A. When I left, I don't believe those other fibers had been sourced.

Q. And, you know, without going and I guess we could do it if we need to, maybe we'll do it later but
let's just for a moment see if we can't generally agree, that there were a considerable number of fibers
found on JonBenet Ramsey's body and articles of clothing that were not in fact sourced by the
investigation, true?

A. Whether artifact or evidence, yeah, there were a number of hair and fiber pieces in this case that
I know they, Trujillo and CBI, were trying to source.

Q. And as of August of '98 had not been able to do so, true?

A. That's my understanding.

Q. And CBI had at one point come up with a conclusion that there was a consistency between fibers
found on a blanket in the suitcase that matched fibers on JonBenet's body or were consistent with, is
that the right term?

A. I heard Mr. Smit and Mr. DeMuth refer to that but I didn't hear Trujillo ever offer a report or an
explanation concerning that.

Q. But the FBI disagreed with the CBI, didn't they?

A. On what point?

Q. On the question of whether there were fibers inside materials found in the suitcase found under
the window in the basement consistent with fibers found on JonBenet?

A. No, I'm aware of Smit and DeMuth's position or stating this consistency of these fibers, but I'm
not aware of a disagreement between the FBI and that finding.
