Reliability of hair and fiber

Hair and fiber analysis is reliable in the fact that it can prove someone was somewhere, but it does not help with a timeline. Hairs and fibers cannot prove when someone was in a certain place. Hair is more reliable when it has a follicle attached, which can contain DNA. Fibers can usually only be reliable when there is a source for it to be compared to.
