The blood on the jacket.

Here's the jacket story. Westerfield was on an erratic journey over the weekend. Between 7 and 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4 he goes to his usual drycleaners and takes in comforters, some other kind of bedding and a green jacket. He takes his MH to the place where he stores it, gets in his SUV,which he left for the first time ever at the storage place (the guy who lives where he stores it says someone, usually Neal, came along to drive the SUV away when the MH was picked up and Neal verified this yesterday).

Westerfield drives home in the SUV and shortly the police arrive. He is asked questions, including where he was over the weekend, but he doesn't tell about the drycleaning trip. When the police leave he sits down at his computer for a bit (a tape recording of an interview later that day with a Det. Redden was made and portions played for the jury). He runs to the drycleaners again with dark clothes and requests same-day service but is told it is too late in the day so that's out. He does tell Det. Redden about drycleaning trip #2 but doesn't tell him about trip #1 either. He explicitly tells Redden he went directly to get his SUV and go home.

When the police get a warrant for the drycleaning stuff a couple days later it has all been cleaned. Yet they are able to get some evidence. The green jacket had 4 stains. 3 tested positive presumptively for blood, the fourth indeterminate. Two spots turned out to be Westerfield's and the third was Danielle's. The jacket had already been cleaned and was in the plastic bag. No fibers on it-----just Danielle's blood.

Also, the drag marks around the body were referenced again yesterday and it sounds like it is entrails---not huge drag marks of her whole body, from my understanding.

You are good, thanks. Did they say where the blood was on the jacket ? Any explanation as to why Westerfield had blood ? Did he have an injury ?
