\ ( The following report deals with the preliminary examination of fibrous materials recovered from the body of homicide victim, Nathaniel Cater, Georgia Crime Laboratory case 81-13933, and the comparison of these fibrous materials with items otained from the home, automobile and person of Wayne B. Williams, Georgia Crime Laboratory case 81-14982, A listing of the items discussed in this report can be found in Laboratory reports of the Georgia Crime Laboratory under the case numbers given above. One light yellowish green nylon fiber was recovered from the head hair of the victim, item 4C. This fiber, although somewhat lighter in color, exhibits the same microscopic characteristics, and same optical properties as fibers present in the carpet removed from Williams’ bedroom, item 196. Two light violet acetate Fibers were recovered from the head hair sample of the victim, item 2. These fibers althougn somewnat lighter in color, exhibit the same microscopic characteristics and same optical properties as acetate fibers present in the composition of a bedspread, item 189, taken from Williams* bedroom. Even though the nylon and acetate fibers discussed above show slight color differences with fibers in Williams’ bedroom carpet and Williams' bedspread, it is felt that the above fibers from the victim's hair could have originated from the carpet and the bedspread taken from Williams‘ room. Additional examinations are presently being conducted in an attempt to explain the apparent “bleaching” of the yellowish ae A nolan fiber anA lianaht «ptalat anakata Firara rannuarad Er am wi Tuas a arene fe eerits a Mol ated ¥4Wiv & Mw Piet & bw kh Se ee ee & Vil the victim's hair. A few yellow rayon fibers removed from the victim's head hair exhibit the same microscopic characteristics and the same optical properties as present in the composition of a fabric sample taken from a blanket located under the bed in Williams’ bedroom, item 94. Accordingly, these rayon fibers from the victim's head hair could have originated from the blanket from which item 94 was obtained. One yellow synthetic fiber, which has been partially melted, was removed from the victim at the Medical Examiner's Office, item 4. Portions of this fiber exhibit the same microscopic characteristics and the same optical properties as present in portions of a partially melted yellow nylon fiber removed from the vacuum sweepings obtained from the automobile driven by Williams, item 16. These fibers could have originated from the same source. Several fine white to light brown animal hairs were also fly removed from the victim at the Medical Examiner's Office, item 4. 7 These hairs exhibit the same microscopic characteristics as present a
