In our CSI episode from last week, CSI Nick Stokes utilized superglue fumes to develop fingerprints on a rental vehicle involved in a traffic accident.

a) Describe the process of using superglue to develop latent fingerprints. Mention the types of biomolecules in your answer.

b) Explain why this was not very helpful during the investigation utilizing what we learned about Locard's Principle of Exchange and circumstantial evidence.

Fingerprints can be altered _____.

temporarily by putting acid on fingertips

permanently by handling pineapple plants

and eventually destroyed with pineapple juice

with serum that completely reforms the fingerprints

Secretions of the skin _____.

make our fingers smooth and shiny

are a mixture of water, oils, and salts

are by-products of skin cell development

are created in the basal layer of skin

The ridge count, _____, helps to distinguish one print from another.

the total number of ridges on the end pad of a finger

is determined by counting the number of deltas in a fingerprint

calculated from the center of the fingertip to the outside edge

the number of ridges between the core and the center of the delta

When technology is used to analyze fingerprints, _____.

the final comparison is made by a human expert

identifications can be made in a matter of seconds

experts have 100 percent certainty in identifications

the software examines individual ridges of a print

Silver nitrate, used to visualize latent fingerprints, _____.

reacts with chloride ions in sweat

is a derivative of fatty acids and amino acids

creates a black print

is heated to produce fumes that react with fingerprints

The fingerprints on a completed ten card (shown below) are _____ fingerprints.

plastic

patent

fluorescent

latent

Select all of the following methods that can be used to develop a latent fingerprint.

Police investigate a suspect in a home-invasion. Eyewitnesses provide details to the sketch artist. Interviews with neighbors confirm that a person consistent with the suspect's description was seen in the neighborhood on several occasions. A surveillance camera on a neighbor's porch provides an image of the suspect walking on the sidewalk just a few hundred feet from the crime scene. Finally, a DNA test indicates a very high probability that the suspect was at the crime scene. The one dissenting factor in the case is that the fingerprint identification of the fingerprints found at the scene is different than the fingerprint identification of the suspect.

The evidence would make sense if the suspect _____.

works with pineapples

wore a disguise during the crime

has an identical twin

used acid to modify his fingerprints

The first fingerprint identification system, _____, was developed in 1980 and used by individual states.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)

Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC)

Interstate Photo System (IPS)

Advanced Fingerprint Identification Technology (AFIT)
