On reflection,I don't think I've ever taken anything to the cleaners that was folded or on a hanger. I just grab an armload and then dump it on the counter,and ask when I can come back for it.

Same with me. Although I suppose at some time or another they sort through it and put the identifying tags on it before they mix it with all the other clothes. Seems that whoever did that at the cleaners would have seen the stain at that time. Who knows if they would remember something like that with the volume of clothes that goes through a cleaners every day. However, I did have a shirt returned to me from dry cleaners one time that had a note attached saying they were unable to remove a stain. Lo and behold, there was stain on the front that WAS NOT there when I dropped the shirt off. Naturally I claimed that they must have been the one to cause the stain since I didn't point it out to them when I dropped the article off. Guess what? They replaced my shirt.

Yeah-asking the counter people at a cleaning place if they remember a spot on a jacket strikes me as asking the kid at the fast food place if he remembers taking an order for fries. Kind of a stretch.

My recollection was it was a smear on the jacket about 1" LONG. there were 3 other spots and at least one of those was "blood" belonging to DW.

I thought the prints in the MH on the cabinet belonging to the victim were found before the body, can someone source the testimony on that? I do recall the MH was not completely checked for prints and the criminalist returned at a later date, but I thought DanielleVD's prints ere found the first time around.

When I go to a cleaners they always check for spots. And they are supposed to check after cleaning also. How did the criminalist spot them?
