digging through that silt, i was able to recover dog hair and fibers that were close to his scalp. the dog hair was consistent with sheba, the wayne williams family dog. in cater s hair was one of those unusual green carpet fibers. under a microscope, peterson could see the boomerang shape just like those in the williams carpet. this is a piece of that actual carpet which the fbi s harold dedman said was quite rare. it s got an unusual carpet fiber. it was manufactured a limited amount of time. it was a ten-year-old carpet. on jimmy payne, the other victim, dedman found yellow rayon fibers stuck to his cotton shorts, fibers consistent with the blanket under wayne s bed. i personally took the cutting from the yellow blanket that was under the bed.
