This round of questioning is extremely important IMO because it establishes clearly for the first time that the dark fibers found in JonBenet's panties are believed by the BPD to have come from John's shirt. I don't think there's any getting around that. And if you have any doubts as to the importance of this evidence, check out Lin Wood's reaction -- the guy literally goes ballistic at the mere mention of these fibers.

Before trying to draw any conclusions, however, cooler heads would want to ask some questions. Such as:

Has it been established that the panties JonBenet was wearing when found were new, right out of the plastic container? Or not? Had they ever been laundered?

Do we know if there were any signs of these dark fibers, allegedly from John's shirt, on JBR's hands?

Were the fibers in question found anywhere else of importance, e.g., on her other clothing, elsewhere on her body, etc.?

John claims he carried her to bed that night. If he was wearing a shirt that shed fibers, one would assume that those fibers would be all over the outside of whatever she was wearing. Were they?

It's been suggested JonBenet's genitals had been wiped down. This conclusion was drawn, as I recall, because of the pattern of these same dark fibers on her body. If the fibers are from John's shirt, can we conclude he wiped her with his own shirt? That seems unlkely to me, I must confess. On the other hand, an intruder wanting to plant incriminating evidence might do just that, no?

At this point I am very intrigued but also confused. It would be really helpful to see the full report.
