    In August 2024, Pennsylvania state police trooper Ian Keck discovered Grubb’s lost fingerprint card taken during the autopsy in 1977 and sent it to NaMus. An FBI fingerprint expert matched the fingerprints to Grubb’s in just 53 minutes

    Good job coppers

    During Grubb’s autopsy, examiners collected his dental information and fingerprints, but the latter were misplaced, leaving investigators with a rudimentary sketch and little else.

    Lol. Calling that sketch “rudimentary” is being generous.

    I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of 1977 being almost 50 years ago.
