Chicago police are hoping that the killer’s skin cells and sweat were deposited on the shell casings from the murder weapon.
Ammunition must be first loaded into spring fed magazines before semi-automatic pistols can be fired. Sweaty fingers must make contact with the cartridge cases and sometimes minuscule biological material can be found trapped in the rim areas of the shell casings.
DNA sampling may well lead police to the killer. Obviously the police must be able to find the killers DNA profile from a database or by taking a sample from a suspect. Testing like this takes weeks at a minimum.
