An orange acrylic fiber was abundant in defendant David Westerfield's home, but showed up only once on the victim, 7-year-old Danielle van Dam wrapped between the links of a necklace that was still on her neck when she was found. "The long bright orange fibers were significant to me because I had seen a bright orange fiber somewhere else and that triggered my memory," said police criminalist Jennifer Shen. "In the necklace, tangled in hair that was tangled around the necklace was a long, orange fiber."

The orange fiber found in van Dam's necklace, Shen testified, was everywhere in Westerfield's home. The witness told the court that it matched 20 to 30 fibers found in Westerfield's washer, 50 to 100 found on top of the washer, another 50 to 100 in his laundry, and 10 to 20 found in the bedding in his master bedroom.
