how to find a person with only fingerprints?

[RileyX]

whats everyones strategy to find a person with only having the fingerprints?

[BourneGamer]

I had some side jobs that gave only a little more than that, I broke into every business that was on the map and went flipping though employee records. But, that won't cover absolutely everyone: there are people who are unemployed.

Yeah just started a post where like the majority of the jobs are just not feasible based n the RNG starting info.

depends of the other infos you can get.

Only finger print is not worth my time on a side case.

If it's a murder, as people generally know the people they got murdered by, I would investigate Id prints of :
- Roomate
- Same Floor Neighbours, and thoses just above and below.
- Contacts listed near phone
- Coworkers of the victim.
- check fingerprints on mailboxes of the building. Maybe the killer lives in the same building.
- If he got killed by Slash or blunt weapon, I would check pawn shop sale registers, drugstrores one for poisoning and blackmarket for guns, mark any name who bought someting needed for the actual killing and drop by the gov database in city hall with thoses names and see if their fingerprints match with thoses I search for.

haha, well I need fingerprint AF and the victim got AE and her partner has N. I found the murderweapon with AF but theres nobody ... the only meeting they had was a date with eachother not a third party.

I already checked her partners company. yea seems I have to look around more. Im a lazy detective ^^

People have said that the targets are often someone known by the client, so you can stalk whoever gave you the job and investigate their home/work/friends. See if you can find the fingerprints at the client's job, for example.

If it's one of those dead drop briefcase jobs, the case itself might have prints on it.

(Edit: Oh, murder case. I was referring to side jobs, but the advice still mostly applies.)

After that? Check tenant contracts to find the handful of those who are unemployed? That's one of my criticisms on this game at times, pure unadulterated drugery on such little info.

Same as above, broke into every business and licked all the employee files. I also just randomly ask people I don't know their name and prints. Steal it if they refuse too much. Can also check scan each individual mailbox.

But if all you have is a fingerprint, there's probably a better method to do it. Like often the perp is a coworker or lives in the same building (although my most recent murder had absolutely no connection anywhere).

Best bet is checking the black market sales records if it's a gun, or pawn shops sales records if it's not a gun. Stole a gun from a killer, let him kill again, and it turned out he bought the same exact model from the same guy in order to kill again.

You can sometimes get the start of a description from the neighbors, also check the paper and read about the murder, I had one case where it talked about the person who 'found' the body.

buy the newspaper in a vending machine. Maybe there was something usefull you missed about the case which will be noted in ( for exemple some croped message written on the wall you could not read completely). Maybe you can get a motive out of it
In my first case it pointed toward coworkers as the wall message said "No promotion for the undeservings". Another case there was written [victims name and M forever]. As he was killed by a riffle I checked black markets registers to find someone with a firstname starting with M and investigated them further.

okay so I went to the victims company and found the murder fingerprints.
one question: do I have to take the murderweapon as evidence or do I just leave it at the crime scene ?

Grab the weapon, use the scan button in inventory, then pin both weapon and the associated fingerprint on your case file and link them together.

For "proof of the murderer being on site", use the fingerprint found at the victim's place
For 'what is the weapon' use the pinned weapon linked to the (IDed) fingerprint.

Inspect the weapon, pin its info to your case page, click the "Resolve" button, and select it as the murder weapon. You don't need to physically bring any evidence.

[RileyX]

yea I done all that, question is do I need the w eapon to resolve the case or just the info I scanned at it?

so I went to the murders apartement and handcuffed him. tho I dont know how to complete the arrest option. any hints ? do I just go to the city hall now and leave him handcuffed in his apartment?

[RileyX]

You only need the full name of the culprit to handle the case. But it won't gives you lots of social credits or money if you only do that.
