The forensic examination of the object itself is expected to focus on three key areas: DNA, geolocation, and functionality. If the item contains trace elements from Nancy’s home—such as specific desert dust, carpet fibers, or biological material—it would create an undeniable physical link between the jacket and the crime scene during the critical window. Furthermore, if the object is electronic in nature, it could provide its own set of metadata, potentially revealing where it has been in the days leading up to and following the disappearance.
