Quick update on the forensic investigation...........
Received an e-mail from the fingerprint expert. He pulled 3 good prints and 1 marginal print off the book that was sent to me (at least 3 different fingers). The best prints were right and left thumbs. He got several good prints from both of the beer bottles that I had BMF hold (XH helped me to get these prints). None of BMF's prints matched those from the book............ but the fingerprint expert did not find any complete thumbprints on either of the beer bottles, so BMF cannot be eliminated as a suspect. The expert said he needs to see BMF's thumbs rolled side to side and bottom to top, to compare properly.
I think there may be a return trip to the handwriting expert in my future.........
