A New Hampshire State Police fingerprint examiner has finally identified the remains of a man found more than fifty years ago.<br />The remains were buried in 1969 and exhumed in 2012. Attempts to identify the man by DNA and fingerprints were unsuccessful.<br />While the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory had obtained a single usable fingerprint, there was no match in various databases.<br />But criminalist Timothy Jackson eventually realized that was possible to plot the individual characteristics, or the minutiae, himself.<br />Turns out, the print belonged to Winston Richard Morris.<br />Morris was shot at least six times in the head about three months after his May 1969 release from Vermont State Prison.<br />Jackson modestly credits his discovery with new technology and "old school" police work.<br />It's very easy for me because I'm old school.
