Telstra Blue.

The fibre that delayed the trial of the century for more than four months.

And it’s the fibre which the prosecution say was found in Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon’s hair.

A piece of material, from a pair of Telstra pants which were used in 1996 and 1997 was tested as late as May 2019.

The trial was originally due to start, but the prosecution - and the judge found this evidence important enough to delay the trial until November.

On day 69 two witnesses told the court in minute detail, of how fibres are woven into pieces of fabric, which fibres are used and how they’re dyed.

Criminal defence lawyer Damien Cripps joins us for today’s podcast episode, he describes how the prosecution are trying to prove - beyond reasonable doubt - that the fibres found in the hair of Jane and Ciara are from pants worn by a Telstra worker through the fibres and that Telstra worker is Bradley Robert Edwards.

As Alison Fan explains, the colour of the Telstra pants was made specifically for Telstra, in fact the dye made for those pants was called Telstra Blue.

But we haven’t heard from the defence yet, Paul Yovich asked to delay the cross examination until tomorrow.

Join Natalie Bonjolo, Alison Fan and Damien Cripps as they discuss - and debate day 69 of the Claremont Serial Killings trial. They also answer some listener questions.

Ever since the shocking deaths of three young women in 1996 and 1997, the unanswered questions surrounding the Claremont serial killings have remained one of the biggest mysteries in WA history.
