Abstract

In general, three types of fingerprints could be found at the crime scene: visible, plastic, and latent fingerprints. Examples of visible fingerprint include those made by blood, paint or ink. Plastic fingerprint are made from an impression of the finger on soft material as soap, wax, etc. Latent fingerprint are those of the invisible one to the human eye. Oil-contaminated fingerprints remained in the evidence, that are contaminated with the soybean oil, engine oil, lubricating oil or grease. Oil-contaminated fingerprints are special types of fingerprint evidence but the research for developing method regarding oil-contaminated fingerprints is a few. In this study, ultraviolet light source was employed for untreated oil-contaminated prints and the freeze-dry method with liquid nitrogen for freeze oil residue on the surfaces with sequence of developing oil-contaminated fingerprints with black and magnetic powders, cyanoacrylate (CA) fuming, Basic Yellow 40. The types of oil chosen for the experiment were soybean oil, LSA oil, engine oil and material surfaces selected for the experiment were glass, plastic aluminum plates. The aims of this study were to determine the appropriate developing methods for oil-contaminated fingerprints.

사건현장 증거물에 존재하는 지문으로는 혈액, 페인트, 잉크와 같이 색을 보유한 물질에 접촉한 후 증거물에 유류되어 육안확인이 가능한 현재지문(visible fingerprint)과 비누, 왁스와 같은 부드러운 증거물에 압착 유류되어지는 압착지문(plastic fingerprint), 땀성분이나 생활속에서 유지류(oil)등에 오염되어 육안확인이 어려운 잠재지문(latent fingerprint)형태로 존재한다. 그 중 유지문(oil-contaminated fingerprint)은 식용유(soybean oil), 자동차 엔진오일(engine oil)을 비롯한 공업용 윤활유인 합성윤활유 및 산업현장 기계류에 사용되는 그리스와 같은 유지류에 의해 오염된 지문이 증거물에 유류되어 육안으로 식별하기 어려운 지문이며 이의 현출법에 대한 표준화 현출법은 미비하다. 이에 본 연구는 사건현장에서의 다빈도 채택증거물인 유리, 플라스틱, 알루미늄 대상물질에 식용유, 총기윤활유(LSA), 엔진오일로 오염된 유지문을 ultraviolet 광원을 이용한 광학적인 방법과 분말법 및 화학적 현출법으로 현출하기전 동결전처리법을 시도하고 분말법, cyanoacrylate (CA) fuming법, 형광발색법을 이용한 연속적 재처리법을 이용하여 최적 현출법을 제시하고자 하였다.
