• .22 caliber pistol
• Fingerprints
The evidence of the fingerprints is consider transfer and intrinsic evidence. The fingerprints that were left from Aileen Wuornos was a transfer of oil from her finger onto the receipt. The fingerprints can also be classified as intrinsic evidence because the fingerprints are not considered a crime because the prints are on a receipt for stolen items that correspond to a murder. The prints then become incriminating. To collect the fingerprints forensics scientists used fingerprint powder and tape. They first dusted the receipt for a
print using the electromagnetic fingerprint powder. The forensic scientist then would get a piece of tape and place it over the print really hard & lift up and have a perfect print. The piece of tape would then be put on a piece of paper and sealed in an evidence bag. Then they would use a high-powered magnify-glass to get a clear picture of the print. To analyze this print a
person look for different minute details called minutiae such as a whorl, loop, or arch. Also police found in Aileen's possession that she had a .22 pistol caliber that she used to kill all seven of her victims. Police questioned this evidence because the size of the gun is not commonly used in self -defense or a cold blooded murder.
