| Abstract: | The front seats of 108 vehicles were examined for the presence of two types of commonly occurring fibres, the so-called “target” fibres. A total of 8436 fibres was removed from the seats for comparison using standard methods. The maximum number of matching fibres found on any one seat was 13; and in any one vehicle, 20. In only two vehicles were sufficiently large enough numbers of fibres present to suggest primary transfer of fibres to the seats, the probable source garments for these fibres being found in both cases. In only one vehicle were matches found to both types of target fibre. No matching fibres were recovered from vinyl-covered seats. These results indicate that when large numbers of more than one type or colour of matching fibres are found on a car seat, the evidence for contact appears to be highly significant. |
