Forensic science thread matching

<sigh>

Kinda like this one huh?

Kinda like the question.

Nive would you care to re-phrase your question......perhaps.

It makes sense to me -- I regret that I don't know the answer, but it makes sense.

I'd think that it has a lot to do with what the shirt is, that there wouldn't be one answer that fit all circumstances. For example, if it were a recent Gap shirt in a very popular style, I think the chance of a match would be far less than if it were a 50's vintage bowling shirt, or something.

And welcome to A2K!

Re: Forensic science thread matching


Er - one assumes there is a hole in the shirt which matches the shape of the piece of shirt we are testing?

Good point! :-)

I was assuming it was at a finer forensic level -- little teeny tiny fragments, like all clothes shed without showing it (witness dryer lint...)

The FBI has a set of Forensic sCience Communications on the web.
