Thanks for your reply... how long does it take for blood to dry, minutes? Could dried blood be scraped off one material and droped onto say a carpet, even though it won't stick it could be there? It is my understanding that 1) a trace of the victims blood was found in suspects motorhome... 2) a trace, maybe even dime sized spot of blood belonging to the victim was found on suspects jacket (after dry cleaning?) 3) trace dna of suspect was found in victim's room, my guess is hair or hairs...

Given the body was not found by police till a month later, how could blood be in the motorhome and on the jacket? Only way I see it is if a)suspect was in contact with body/blood at some point in time, or b) someone put blood in motorhome and on jacket while it was wet or blood found was "loose" . If blood was not available to police who else could have done that and is it plausible? Hair in the bedroom can be explained away, transferred from suspect to mom while dancing..

Anyone else see a pic of Westerfield with his black leather jacket and blue jeans? Was that the jacket?

Pic about halfway down:Pics

Pic also shows dog & handler with shoe going back into van dam house....

"Given the body was not found by police till a month later,"

It's my understanding the samples were obtained with westerfield's consent when he returned from his weekend trip.

The blood samples would have to be in the form of coaggulated blood from a wet smear. They would have images and written description for the samples. All of this is available to the defense. If any of the samples were powder, or in loose granular form, it would have been noted. If it was a leather jacket they found the blood on, then it was definitely applied wet. Powdered blood doesn't stick to leather, and if it's a particle deposit, it would have been noted as such. Neither legal team would ever miss that.
