A West Virginia University researcher is uncovering how firearm evidence and latent fingerprint evidence helps solve crimes by finding the “perfect match.” If a cartridge case was found at a crime scene, the investigator will compare cartridge cases to determine if they originated from a specific firearm. Keith Morris, the Ming Hsieh Distinguished Professor of Forensic and Investigative Science, focuses on the variability in the impressions that are created on the cartridge case from a particular firearm.

It's a match
