Does the skin actually have a print? The reason I ask this is, I was at my hand therapist and she had attached a bandage to my wrist crosswise and then attached two more strips, each going the length of my forearm to the bend of the elbow. She attached it by using a special form of glue and then applied a stretchable bandage which was intended to take the pressure off my tendons. Upon removing the bandages the following morning I was surprised to see what appears to be my skin print. I was so astonished I had to take a picture. The print appears to look like wood grain. As we know grain goes one way. It appears that, if this is my skin print, that our skin print goes two ways. What could have left this print on my arm? The glue? The tape? It appears to have a specific pattern. Just as our thumb print. I would be happy to attach the photo, but I'm not sure how.

The first question that was asked: whether or not the suspect left fingerprints on the victim's neck. I remember researching the topic and finding out how difficult it is to secure prints from a body. In this case, they weren't able to get any because the air was so dry (it was in the southwest desert) and because of all the dirt and debris (she was dumped in a ditch on the side of the road). It's definitely something an author should consider while writing about homicides--and in my reading, unfortunately, something that seems to get passed over.ANDREW E.
