AT 7A-1835 SF 69/35 2 The Williams family have a large, Shepherd-type dog that was tied in the back yard of their house at 1817 Penelope Road, during the search of the house on June 3, 1981. This dog does not appear to be a pure breed and the dog's coat has several shades of brown in it. Hair samples were obtained from the Williams dog and are presently being compared microscopically with the questioned dog hairs previously removed from the victim's clothing and/or bodies. Although this dog has more brown in its coat than would be expected from an examination of the questioned hairs, it is certainly consistent with the general type of large, long- haired dog that was expected to be the source of the questioned hairs. A microscopical examination and comparison of these dog hairs has not yet been completed. Light violet secondary acetate fibers were removed from the clothing and/or bodies of eighteen (18) of the victims. In addition, light violet acetate fibers were also recovered from John Harold Porter. These acetate fibers have been found in large numbers on some victims. This would indicate the acetate fibers came from a fabric composed of spun staple yarns, which would be expected to shed fibers very easily. During the search of the Williamses' home, a large bedspread was present on the king size bed in the bedroom of Wayne B. Williams. This bedspread was composed of purple acetate yarns and light green cotton yarns and has a fringe of long, cotton yarns. The acetate fibers present in this bedspread exhibit the same microscopic characteristics as the light violet acetate fibers found on many of the victims and are consistent with originating from this bedspread. This bedspread aiso appears to be old and worn and would be expected to shed f ily because of its age, as well as its construction. has not reported finding any cotton fibers on the victims or eir clothing, which could be compared with the cotton fibers on the bedspread. Light colored, cotton fibers are very common and are usually of no value for significant comparison purposes, However, these light green, cotton fibers would have also been transferred to the victims’ clothing if the clothing had come in contact with the bedspread in question, and, accordingly, the victims’ clothing will be searched for cotton fibers of this type. ©. 110 LIC.
