Report
1. (4 points) When and where did the bombing occur? March 11 th , 2024 bombings occurred on commuter trains traveling near or to the Atocha train station in Madrid, Spain. 2. (4 points) How many people were killed and how many were wounded in the bombing? The death toll was nearly 200 with more than 1,500 injured 3. (4 points) On what object was the latent fingerprint found? A plastic bag containing copper detonators like the ones on the train bombs. 4. (4 points) How many ridge characteristics were identified and used to make the match by the FBI? Seven minutiae points from the high-resolution image of one suspect latent fingerprint and initiated an IAFIS search matching the print to Brandon Mayfield 5. (8 points) Who did the FBI match the fingerprint to? Did this person have a criminal record? Was there evidence of him being in Madrid, Spain at the time of the bombing? Brandon Mayfield, no criminal record but his prints were in the system when he was in the military. No evidence of him traveling however it is believed that Mayfield traveled under a false or fictitious name. 6. (8 points) Who did the Spanish government match the evidence print to? Did he have a criminal record? Was there evidence of him being in Madrid, Spain at the time of the bombing? They matched the print to an Algerian national. I couldn’t find the rest of these answers in the text. 7. (8 points) What were the U.S. committees’ findings on how the mismatch occurred. What were the corrective actions? The committee found numerous systematic issues with latent fingerprinting. The committee has since implemented revisions in training and the decision-making process determining the value of a latent print. 8. (4 points) Describe an interesting fact that you learned in this assignment. I found it interesting that the FBI allows employees to be forced to make a decision that may taint a senior or retired superior. I feel that an opinion from an outside organization would be much better at the ability to be a check and balance for the original opinion.
