I too was quite interested in the fingernail scrapings. Unfortunately, I missed a few minutes of testimony regarding an important area that held promise of evidence. Wanting to find out more, I emailed Court TV on the rather stupid assumption that might address my issues. Here is what I wrote:
While listening to Mr. Holland's rather redundant testimony confirming the hair found at various locations around the Westerfield home were Danielle Van Dam's, I somehow missed what he had to say regarding Item #28, scrapings from under the fingernails of Danielle Van Dam's right hand (Holland noted they could derive nothing from Items #27 and #29). What did he say about Item #28, and does it seem odd that none of Westerfield's DNA could be found on Danielle's body? Or would it have beenobliterated or rendered useless because of the length of time the body was exposed to the elements?
Of course, no answer or mention on the show....
