So there was the unidentified print on the stair rail and one on the garage door (the one to the outside or to the house?) I wonder if these two prints can be matched to each other?
Does unidentified mean that they were good prints that could be matched - and not smeared or something - so as to never be able to identify it?
I can't imagine that I have any unidentifiable prints in my house. If my child's life was at stake - I'm sure I could come up with the names and wherabouts of every person who's had access to or has been in my house ever - at least within the past few years - and certainly within the past 6 months or 1 year - which seems to me a realistic amount of time to be concerned with regarding fingerprints ( I don't think prints would stick around forever on a hand rail - do you?) How come those prints aren't ID'd - it's just strange.

Even though you came up with the name of every possible person who had ever been in your home, there could still be unknown prints. An anonymous construction worker/painter/carpent installer. I'm not sure they would or could track down everyone you could name either.

An excellent point mommya. And that's under normal conditions, but if you've ever watched children around a handrail, you would likely have seen them, not necessarily sliding, but running their hands down the handrail. I know my grandson's can't resist it.
