Chapter 17: The cul-de-sac killer

[ista]

In discussing the unknown fibers, I was going to find references where it has been printed, the crime scenes these fibers were found at. This chapter includes the 2nd and 3rd crimes where they were found:

What I find hard to believe is that someone, over a year and a half later, would still be carrying around unknown fibers that could not be identified by LE. This goes back to the kind of work the killer would be involved in or he did scientific experiments somewhere and created the unknown fibers.

I'm reading back over all of the articles to find references of the fibers to the Ventura, Dana Point and Irvine attacks.

The bindings used at 1st and 2d Goleta match each other, according to Stan Los. the bindings were left behind at these two crime scenes and were apparently form the same roll.

Even Silent Witness doesn't claim the fibers from 2d and 3d Goleta were a match or the same fiber. At 3d the bindings were not left behind. The fibers were probably from the bindings or some sort of cover used by the attacker.
Fibers, as Nick G. often points out, was mentioned at Dana Point. I do think there the fiber was the binding.

Yesterday I was going through the Ventura County Star archives and ran across a few more articles. Two from 10/2000 and one from 3/2004. I had printed out an article from 3/28/03 which is no longer in the VCS archives.

I've sent them to Jjmcgr to add to the website.

Fibers...Ista and/or JJ
Did I read one time that it was macrame (sp?) yarn, which was a popular craft in the '70's?

Macramé: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macram%C3%A9 here is some information on this type of textile.
