1. List Forensic Specialist 2. List any pieces of evidence that would be analyzed by your specialist 3. Explain how your specialist would be important to solving this crime

1. Dactyloscopist (fingerprtint expert) 2. In this episode: - They found fingerprints on the doorknob and printed it but only found smudges - They also printed the sister since she was the person who found the body - They never showed this, but they could have looked for prints on the gun. If the pen had been at the scene they could have printed that also and compared it to the prints of the suspects in the crime

- Any weapons or objects that are found at the crime scene can be looked at for prints. The prints can then be processed. Then these prints can be compared to those of the suspects in the case. (Knives, guns, doors, strange objects found on the victim’s person or in the area, etc.)

3. Though fingerprints were not important in this episode (only used to take sister’s print, which didn’t turn into anything and looked for them on the door, but there were only smudges), if they hadn’t been able to solve it without prints they could have tried to get prints from the gun (those she was wearing gloves, so there were none). If the pen had still been there, they could have used those prints. In a case where there are more objects around that have prints on them, they can be what solves the case. If a print had been found on the gun, it could have been compared with all of the suspects fingerprints and then they would know who was holding the gun, which will most likely be who shot it. Though they weren’t important in this case, fingerprints can be the deciding factor in a case.
