Summary

In 1978, the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System did not exist. Detectives investigating Carroll Bonnet’s October 1978 murder in Omaha, Nebraska collected several latent prints from the crime scene. The prints didn’t have a match at the time, but in 2009, after IAFIS was developed, the prints were reexamined… and this time, it led to Carroll’s killer.
