Chapter 6 - Demanding Fingerprint Analysis and Forensic DNA Testing

“I want a full forensic wipe of that firearm right now,” I demanded, leaning forward across the metal table.
“Latent print dusting, touch DNA extraction, and a serial number trace,” I continued, ticking items off on my fingers.
Detective Miller raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed by my tactical composure in the face of felony charges.
“Already ordered it, Sergeant Callahan; state forensics is processing the weapon as we speak,” he replied calmly.
“You’ll find my father Robert Callahan’s skin oils all over the grip and trigger guard,” I stated with absolute certainty.
“If he planted it during their little morning invasion, his microscopic trace will be embedded in the checkerboard texture.”
“And what about the firearm's registration?” Detective Miller asked, testing my knowledge of the situation.
“Run the serial number through the national database; it’s either stolen or registered in my father’s name,” I answered.
The detective closed the manila folder and stood up, sliding his chair back against the linoleum floor.
