Timeline for Forensic Fiber Analysis 1786 – John Toms of Lancaster, England is convicted of murder on the basis of a torn wad of paper found in a pistol matching a remaining piece in his pocket. One of the first documented uses of physical matching – Austrian Hans Gross publishes Criminal Investigations, the first description of the uses of physical evidence in solving crimes – Max Frei-Sulzer develops the tape lift method of collecting trace evidence. 1980’s – Atlanta murders solves with carpet fiber analysis
