15. A crime-scene investigator views two small, red fibers. One fiber was obtained at the crime scene from the victim's body, and the other red fiber was
removed from the cuff of the suspect's pants. Although the two fibers appear
to be from the same fabric, the crime-scene investigator determines that the
two fibers are indeed very different. Describe five characteristics of fibers,
other than color, that could have been used to distinguish the two red fibers.
Obj. 4.3 - Describe principal characteristics of common fibers used in their
identification, and 4.4 - Apply forensic science techniques to analyze fibers.
