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?

My question about the DRY CLEANERS would be this:

IF they couldn't get the spots OUT, wouldn't they have NOTED IT and been PREPARED TO SHOW/TELL the CUSTOMER.

LE said the JACKET had already been cleaned, and they picked it up. I didn't hear the CLERK/CLEANER state that they COULDN"T get those spots OUT OF DW's JACKET.

Another Question: If the other STAINS on the LAPEL (and one was DW's blood) were GONE, why wasn't the one that police said WAS DANIELLE'S ? The Dry cleaner's equipment only takes out 1 type of blood ????????

If they said one of the stains was DWs blood then it couldn't have been gone (cleaned) by the drycleaning.

Any good Dry Cleaning establishment has a "spot testing kit" consisting of about a dozen small vials. They can determine the type of stain by placing a drop of solution on the stain. No problem. Used to work in auto detailing years ago...we used same type of kit for stains on upholstery. Never found stain we couldn't remove. Customers were always amazed.

When I was a teenager I worked at a drycleaner and my primary job was to "spot" the clothes before I passed them on to be cleaned. I looked over every inch of the material and if I saw a spot I put a specific solution on it. Dusek made a big deal about clorox destroying dna evidence implying thats why westerfield had clorox. Would'nt you think that dry cleaning solvent would destroy dna evidence too?
