Only if a subordinate did it.
The ME would say "its not my job" and he had "confidence on" his staff to take such initiatives which he apparently never took the time to check.
I was referring to the crime scene of the previous burglaries at the time those burglaries were reported when I raised the “IF” question. The ME absolutely would have printed the kid. IF they were swabbing his knuckles for DNA, then a full blown investigation was underway at the time, and prints would have been a no-brainer.
