How Shoeprints, Fingerprints, and Micro-Traces Crack the Unsolvable

True Crime

About this episode

A killer may vanish into the night, but they always leave something behind—a dusty shoeprint on a floor, a sweat-latent fingerprint on a window, a single fiber snagged on a nail. These unintentional traces become the silent witnesses that speak volumes in courtrooms. Lasting Impressions explores how forensic science turns microscopic details into ironclad evidence, from the 1970s breakthroughs that nailed Ted Bundy to the AI-powered footprint analysis catching murderers today.
