Presumably the reason LeBOBland took it in the first place was to help frame
Ben Horne for Maddy's death.  I believe he already knew Ben was under suspicion
for Laura's death when he snagged the fur, though I'm not absolutely sure.
In any case he certainly knew it by the time he killed Maddy.  Therefore,
the fur probably got under her fingernails because he put it there.
