An explorer claimed he was attacked by a polar bear in the Arctic, showing deep claw marks on his heavy fur parka. Detective Frost examined the marks and charged the explorer with fraud. Why were the marks fake?
The fur fibers were cut, not torn
A real bear's claws would tear and pull the threads of the fabric apart, but these marks were clean slices made with a sharp blade, mimicking claw lines.
