Victims - Clarence Hiller, his wife, and four kids.
Suspect - Thomas Jennings
Occured on September 19, 1910 in Chicago

Around 2 a m, Clarence woke up to his wife and kids screaming. There had been multiple robberies around the neighborhood, so Clarence quickly went to face the intruder. They started to fight and fell down the staircase. The daughter heard 3 gunshots, and the wife started to scream upstairs. The intruder quickly flees, leaving Clarence to die. However, the railing of the staircase just so happened to be freshly painted, so the intruders fingerprints were retrieved and were traced back to Thomas Jennings. 
Results:
Thomas Jennings was found guilty due to the fingerprints found. He faced the death sentence and was hanged.

I find it fascinating how they are able to match fingerprints with ones in databases to find perpetrators. I also think it is cool how everyone has their own unique print. It is very important in crime scenes to have a fingerprint expert available.]]> 2021-09-20 02:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752768553 zo063 https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752770123 2021-09-20 02:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752770123 zo063 https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752777868 2021-09-20 03:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752777868 zo063 https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752794318 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrBroQuiMhE]]> 2021-09-20 03:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/zo063/kmnpahysog5berv9/wish/1752794318
