I don't know exactly what to think at the moment, though I must say it looks to me like wishful thinking to assume the police were simply making something up regarding the fiber match. This is one of the very few pieces of info we can actually source to the investigators themselves. It looks pretty solid. Doesn't come from a Tab, doesn't come from Charlie Brennan, doesn't come from un-named "sources," but from what looks very much like a bona fide transcript, presented by none other than Jameson herself. This is basically straight from the horse's mouth. Maybe the police were lying to John and Lin, but realistically why would they want to do that? Considering Lin's well known tendency to be agressive and sue at the drop of a hat, that would be like putting their heads into the Li(o)n's mouth. I really don't think they'd take such a risk, sounds to be the fiber match is for real.

My questions of the moment are:

How did the shirt in question get to be removed from the house? And why was that permitted? On the 26th, Patsy was wearing what she had on the night before. Did the police collect those garments for testing? Or did she leave still wearing them? John had apparently changed clothes and was not wearing what he'd worn the night before. Can we assume he was allowed to leave with what HE was wearing on the 26th? If so, and assuming he was no longer wearing the shirt in question, then why was he permitted to take that with him before could be tested? Were the Ramseys permitted to just pack up any old clothes they thought they might need?

Very strange!
