One America’s Most Wanted murders case’s is now under the investigation of the Northamptonshire Police, and one of the top forensic scientists and the University of Leicester. A United States detective is to bring the brass shell casings from a doorstep shooting now known ass the Marianne Wilkinson murder case, which is currently on the America’s Most Wanted website.
Detective Tony Roten, from the Crimes Against Persons Section of the North Richland Hills Police in Texas, is the man who will be delivering the casings. Detective Roten is hoping that Dr. John Bond’s new forensic technique will help to solve the murder investigation. Dr. Bond developed this technique at the University of Leicester Forensic Research Centre. Dr. Bond was able to develop a technique that allows scientists to visualize fingerprints even after the print itself has been removed. Bond put together a study that observes the way fingerprints can corrode metal surfaces. This technique can enhance a fingerprint on a shell that has been already fired, to make it look like it did before it was fired.
The Marianne Wilkinson murder case revolves around the killing of a 68 year old woman, who was killed as she answered her door at around 7:30 at night on December 9 or 2007. Police have been investigating whether it was just an instance of mistaken indentity, or if the 68 year old woman was actually the intended target. However so far, the case is still unsolved.
