enough saliva or skin cells to generate a dna profile. testing for saliva at that time on the mouth of a beer bottle wasn t as commonly done as it is today. the bottles were then subjected to super glue fuming. these fumes will adhere to finger oils and often produce quality prints. glass is a very smooth surface, and the residue that builds up on the ridges and the fingers and in the palms of the hands will easily transfer from the surface of the hand onto the glass surface, and that glass surface will hold it. after 15 minutes in the fuming chamber, one partial palmprint emerged on one of the bottles found near virginia s body. this partial print didn t match virginia russell, justin bullard, or roy beck.
