Now Hair’s the Thing

Something’s not quite clear. If a man was to read all that’s available about how many hairs were collected by SA Forensics and by whom not to mention from where and when then he would wonder whether the hair sample was a chunk of rooted follicles or a single un- rooted follicle or a thoroughly rooted seventy-three year old follicle collected by SAPOL or was handed by someone to someone who passed it on to someone up the chain or if it was collected by a forensic boffin or found by the bloke cleaning the floor of the Police Museum maybe two years ago or ten possibly thirty.

…This is not a satisfactory state of affairs.

I’d give Professor Abbott a bell and ask him but we know he sometimes gets the facts wrong himself. I’m thinking  Cleland’s cardigan. Bad blue that. Long remembered.

So I’m figuring we might scope out the entire collection of ifs buts and maybes and compile them here into a comprehensive list for future generations.

Reasonable ask?
