“..State Police found the lost fingerprint card from Grubb’s 1977 autopsy...” so had they not have lost the card how long would it have taken to identify him? ...and come to think of it..where was it for the past decades? Who found it? the cleaning lady?
Identified just in time to vote in the upcoming election.
