The next fibre was deemed 'similar'.

One of the above mentioned matching fibres was also compared to a blue polyester fibre recovered through vacuumings of Mr Edwards' former car foot well in 2019 and found not to match.

Another was compared that same year to a blue polyester fibre recovered from the bracket on the driver's side seat in the car and found to match.

Another was also compared in 2019 to the one blue polyester fibre recovered from Jane's hair in 2011, and found to match.

Of the eight blue polyester fibres mentioned so far, all have come from Ciara's hair sample 2, 3, 4 or 5 (the VW1 hair mass was divided into 16 sections). In total, 129 fibres were recovered from these four sections.
