Latent Prints
Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints
A. “10 prints” 2. Questioned fingerprints
Latent fingerprints found at crime scenes.

Latent Prints
Fingerprints are formed from material on the fingers that is pressed upon a surface. 1. Prints are also formed from oils secreted by the
fingers. 2. Through the pores, perspiration is discharged and
deposited on the surface of the skin. Once the finger touches a surface, perspiration, along
with oils that may have been picked up by touching the hairy portion of the body, is transferred onto that surface.

Latent Prints
A fingerprint is an individual characteristic; no two fingers have yet been found to possess identical ridge characteristics.
The FBI has nearly 50 million fingerprint records in its computer database and has yet to find an identical image belonging to two different people.

Latent Fingerprints
A fingerprint remains unchanged during an individual’s lifetime. 1. Genetics 2. John Dillinger
He tried to destroy his own fingerprints by applying a corrosive acid, however prints taken at the morgue after he was shot to death compared with fingerprints recorded at the time of a previous arrest.

Latent Fingerprint
A fingerprint made by the deposit of oils and/or perspiration; it is invisible to the naked eye.
Latent fingerprints are also called patent fingerprints

Latent Prints
Fingerprints have general ridge patterns that permit them to be systematically classified. All fingerprints are divided into three classes
on the basis of their general pattern. Loop Whorl Arch

Latent Prints
Sixty to 65 percent of the population have loops, 30 to 35 percent have whorls, and about 5 percent have arches.
![Page 19: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Latent Prints
A variety of techniques use powder and chemicals to develop latent fingerprints. A. Lifted fingerprints
1. Formed when a piece of adhesive tape is placed over a developed latent print and pulled away.
2. The latent print adheres to the tape and then the tape is placed upon a glossy white or black “latent lift backer” card.

3. Photography is used during the development and lifting process.

Latent Prints
Developing Latent Prints Chemicals and powders can be used to
develop latent fingerprints on contact or “touch” surfaces.
Hard and nonabsorbent surfaces Glass Mirror Tile Painted wood.

Latent Prints
Soft and porous surfaces Papers Cardboard Cloth
Some of these materials are hazardous and must be handled and used with proper protective equipment.
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all chemicals must be consulted for appropriate precautions.

Latent Prints
Techniques range from chemical methods such as powders and iodine fuming to the use of laser light. Fingerprint powders
The powders, when applied lightly to a nonabsorbent surface with a camel’s-hair or fiberglass brush, readily adhere to perspiration residues and/or deposits of body oils left on the surface.

Latent Prints – Fingerprint Powders
Experienced examiners find that gray and black powders are adequate for most latent-print work
1. Gray powder, composed of an aluminum dust, is used on dark colored surfaces. It is also applied to mirrors and metal surfaces.
![Page 26: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Latent Prints – Fingerprint Powders
2. The black powder, composed basically of black carbon or charcoal, is applied to white or light colored surfaces.
3. Fluorescent powders are also used to develop latent fingerprints. These powders fluoresce under ultraviolet light.

Latent Prints – Iodine Fuming
Of the several chemical methods used for visualizing latent prints, iodine fuming is the oldest. Iodine is a solid crystal that, when heated,
transforms into a vapor without passing through a liquid phase; such transformation is called sublimation.
![Page 28: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Latent Prints – Iodine Fuming
Most often, the suspect material is placed in an enclosed cabinet along with iodine crystals.
As the crystals are heated, the resultant vapors fill the chamber and combine with constituents of the latent print to make it visible.

Latent Prints – Fuming Cabinet
![Page 30: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Latent Prints – Iodine Fuming
Iodine prints are not permanent and begin to fade once the fuming process is stopped.
Must photograph immediately on development.
Prints can be fixed with a 1 percent solution of starch in water, applied by spraying.
![Page 31: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Latent Prints - Ninhydrin
For most fingerprint examiners, the chemical method of choice is ninhydrin.
Its extreme sensitivity and ease of application have all but eliminated the use of iodine fuming.
Ninhydrin is a chemical reagent used to develop latent fingerprints on porous materials by reacting with amino acids in perspiration.
It is commonly sprayed onto the porous surface from an aerosol can.
![Page 32: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Latent Prints - Ninhydrin
The development of latent prints with ninhydrin depends on its chemical reaction to form a purple-blue color with amino acids present in the trace amounts in perspiration.
Generally, prints begin to appear within an hour or two after ninhydrin application.

Latent Prints – Physical Developer
Physical developer is a silver nitrate-based reagent formulated to develop latent fingerprints on porous surfaces.
This technique is very effective for developing latent fingerprints on porous articles that may have been wet at one time.

Latent Prints – Super Glue Fuming
Super glue fuming is a technique for visualizing latent fingerprints on nonporous surfaces by exposing them to cyanoacrylate vapors; named for the commercial product Super Glue.
![Page 35: LATENT FINGERPRINTS. Latent Prints Fingerprints identification uses the distinctive ridges found on the tips of our fingers. 1. Known fingerprints A.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649d045503460f949d7536/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Latent Prints – Super Glue Fuming
Super glue is placed on absorbent cotton treated with sodium hydroxide. The fumes can be fumes can also be created by heating the glue.
The fumes and the evidential object are contained within an enclosed chamber for up to six hours.

Latent Prints – Super Glue Fuming
Super glue is approximately 98 to 99 percent cyanoacrylate ester, a chemical that interacts with and visualizes a latent fingerprint.
Development occurs when fumes from the glue adhere to the latent print, usually producing a white-appearing latent print.

Preservation of Developed Prints
Once the latent print has been visualized, it must be permanently preserved for future comparison and possible use in court as evidence.
A photograph must be taken before any further attempts at preservation.
