It would seem that Booth would be closer to Lincoln than to Mary if he came from Door #7. Where is CSI or Bones when we need them?

Three years ago the veil Mary Todd Lincoln wore to Ford's Theatre was tested by law enforcement evidence officers with forensic alternate light sources. There was no residue or evidence of blood, gunpowder, or burn marks.

MTL wore a veil that night?? I always thought it was a simple bonnet. This is the first I've ever heard or read of a veil.
