Anne Carlisle, a chemistry and biology double major from Bowling Green, recently completed an internship with the FBI. Carlisle was the recipient of a competitive FBI Honors Internship which took her to Quantico, Virginia, to work in the main FBI laboratory.
During her internship, Carlisle worked with Latent Print Support, which ensures the quality of latent prints. She researched various types of wet particle suspension techniques and how they developed prints of different surfaces.
Carlisle said that prints can be processed through a variety of methods. Each fingerprint is unique to an individual, so fingerprints are used in court as evidence. The better the quality of the latent print that is developed, the more identifying information can be found in that fingerprint.
