5: Ep. 5: The Science of Fingerprints

from The Science of Murder · host The Science of Murder

Welcome back! We are resuming our podcast with the discussion of fingerprints in identifying perpetrators of crimes.

What this episode covers

Whether it’s a patent print (visible to the naked eye), a plastic print (impressed into a soft surface), or the elusive latent print (left by sweat and oils), the science of ACE-V (Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation, and Verification) turns a smudge into a signature. We’re diving into how environmental factors—the same ones that affect blood drying—can degrade a print, and why the surface texture (porous vs. non-porous) dictates which chemical developer we reach for. #ScienceOfMurder #FingerprintAnalysis #Forensics #TrueCrimePodcast #LatentPrints
