Tiny strands of Ciara Glennon’s hair were sent to the FBI in 1999. Those hair strands in a Petri dish have become vital in the prosecution’s case - allegedly linking Ciara Glennon to the Karrakatta rape victim, and both of them to Telstra shorts, the like Bradley Edwards used to wear as a technician in the 1990s.
The blue polyester fibres were two of 41 critical fibres found on Ciara Glennon.
Other critical fibres found from who the prosecution says is the third victim of the Claremont Serial Killer, Ciara Glennon, were compared not only the Holden Commodore VS series 1 which Bradley Edwards drove in the late 90s, the database created for the investigation also found several other cars - of different makes and models seemed similar to the grey fibres found in Ciara Glennon’s hair.
A Ford Falcon, a 1995 Toyota Camry and a 1997 Toyota Camry were among the cars tested.
As both Tim Clarke and Alison Fan explain in this episode, what’s interesting is that the grey fibre ‘corresponded’ with the carpet fibres from the 1997 Toyota Camry, and when asked by Justice Hall, the witness Rees Powell conceded that the 1997 Toyota Camry could be a source for that fibre.
But as the podcast team discuss, this is one of 98 fibres, but it’s something the defence would probably jump on when it comes time for Rews Powell’s cross examination.
There’s 25 fibres to go in the fibre evidence, with the witness spending a mammoth 6 days on the stand already, it’s expected he will continue to give evidence for the rest of the week.
Join Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke and Alison Fan as they discuss day 76.
The West Australian has also released a two-part video series, as Tim Clarke takes you through the areas which are key to the trial, from Claremont, where the women went missing, to Hollywood hospital and to the sites were Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon’s bodies were found.
