My posting is to show that the fiber came to be in her hair on the necklace at the time she was killed.
Several posters have said she could have picked up the orange fiber during the cookie selling visit a few days prior.
Jennifer Shen, the witness, stated on direct exam (I posted it much earlier on this thread) that the fiber came to be there at time of death/placement at Dehesa.
The excerpt you are referring to is Feldman's cross-exam where she affirms this and he seems to accept it and works in his later date theory by getting her to agree that *if Danielle wasn't moving around* the fiber could come to be there earlier.
Does that make it clear?
By "there earlier" I meant Feldman's hypothetical of the body being placed at Dehesa later, but he seems to concede the fiber would come to be in the hair at time of death and body not moved around.
Ms. Shen also stated on cross examination that such a statement was nothing more than a guess.
My experience with hair and necklaces and little girls is that it could have been there for a very long time. The fiber was tangled into a ball with hair. That entanglemane does not happen suddenly. It takes quite a while for the random movements of the hair and the fiber and the necklace and the skin to truely tangle something. That is one of the reasons that I have totally dismissed most of the fiber evidence (besides the fact that no one has any idea where it could have came from except DVD's alma mater).
