Just a little FYI.........one of my daughters is a forensic chemist. She told me that contrary to what people believe, during an investigation, there really are NOT that many times that a readable fingerprint is found.
In line with that, I'm wondering that IF LE feels the back door or whatever, doesn't look like it was forced, and IF Chris is the alleged perp and THOUGHT he'd made it look like it was broken into, I'm wondering IF it were him, would he have worn gloves when he strangled his wife and children?
Along that line,.............COULD there be useable fingerprints on the bodies?
But alas, I will say that my daughter also attended a forensic gathering a few months back and attended a seminar given by Wecht, Lee, and Dr. Baden. I believe it was Dr. Lee (not sure?), who said that during his career, there's only been ONE instance in HIS case participation, where they were able to obtain a 'good' fingerprint from the victim's body.
So................it's a long-shot. We can pray though.
JMHO

PS.......I just want to clarify a little........when my daughter said that about useable fingerprints, she was talking about how people ALWAYS believe if there's a print, it will point to a definit perp. She said quite often, the print is 'unreadable.' ie smudged or whatever.........hope that's clearer, sometimes I confuse myself
