think about such a thing, but
if a body is found and can
be idenufied, then parents
can put their minds at rest.”’
says Booth.

The fingerprints will also
prove invaluable if a child as
kidnapped and held in a
vehicle or room. Booth says
the place where the child was
held can be ‘“‘dusted for
prints’ to prove the child
was actually in certain
locations.

Thirdly, the fingerprints
will also enable police to
identify children tnvolved in
domestic kidnappings ‘It
we get information five years
down the road that a kid
napped child has) been
spotted, we'll be able to
match the prints Prints
never change, but a child's
looks can change
dramatically,’ says Booth
