A meticulous approach by specialist scientists at The Forensic Science Service (FSS) helped provide Cambridgeshire police with key forensic evidence in the investigation into the deaths of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells.
The two 10-year-olds went missing in August 2002 after spending the day at Holly’s home in Soham. ...
After thousands of hours of painstaking work over a 14-month period and working to very tight deadlines, scientists from the FSS were able to link hairs from Ian Huntley along with fibres from his clothing and his house to the Manchester United football shirts worn by both girls on the last day they were seen.
They were also able to link fibres from the football shirts to Ian Huntley’s house and items of his clothing. Of the 40,000 fibres examined, the FSS was able to provide the evidence of a two-way transfer of 154 fibres between Huntley’s clothing and carpets, and the Manchester United football shirts and tracksuit bottoms of the girls. ... Surface debris, including hairs and fibres, was recovered from inside and outside the bin including hairs and fibres.
