MS Method Can Analyze Overlapping, Weak Fingerprints
A two-decade old mass spectrometry method has breathed new life into forensic fingerprinting, seemingly solving a common problem—analysis of overlapping fingerprints.
“Asian Doe” suffered a violent death: homicide by blunt force trauma. The investigation revealed the victim’s death occurred during or prior to 2006.
It was determined that the remains were that of a male wearing a lifejacket. An investigation was launched, and police reached out to the public for information in hopes of identifying the man.
This new method captures the finer details of a fingermark, making it easier to identify individuals and is expected greatly to aid in forensic investigations.
