Forest assault

crime solving

A lady was knocked unconscious in the rain forest. She was in a coma and never recovered. The crime occured in March the 14th and a suspect was arrested in late June. Forensic scientists closely examined his clothing under a microscope. Fibers taken from under the victim's finger nails revealed that they came from a cotton jumper. Obviously a struggle had taken place. One of the suspect's jumpers was closely examined. It revealed the following objects under a magnification of 200X.

Ferns produce millions of spores during the months of March and April. Only in this Rainforest are ferns found, as they are very scarce in this particular region of the world.
