Actually, I can easily accept 13 out of 15 loci as being a good match (please don't ask why, it would take pages to explain). The DNA and the bugs I do not question. It's when you get into unsourced fibres that you get into the "creative accounting" arena, IMO.

Well, I know absolutely zilch about DNA. I thought somebody said that proved a familial relationship, but not necessarily the particular individual? I realize it might be long, but maybe you could shorten it and enlighten us?

Please let me pick your brain for one second. Why is the 12 out of 13 loci a good match? How fast does DNA in hair degrade? How can a person not match her own DNA exactly? You don't have to give a long explanation - broad strokes are fine, but I have been searching for weeks for this info.
