Is it me or is this the most pointless article?
Cracked the case?
Bullshit, she just sent the prints in to the FBI for searching!!!!!
With their backlog it looks like she may crack allot more cases as well [roll]

I was just thinking that!
To think if you just went through the files and sent the prints off to the FBI........
I could get my own story on the internets about how I'm a good data enterer. [clap]
It's not like she entered this stuff into excel, made some pie charts and solved this by herself.
bwaaaaaaaaaaa

I got a small award last year for pulling a print off a car that had been broken into. They got a match, found the guy, and he confessed to the auto burg. I felt the same way you guys are thinking. "So what, I just pulled a print off the door, packaged it, and sent it in. Big whoop. That's what I get paid to do."

Maybe no big deal to you, but the guy who owned the car was probably pretty happy.

You actually pulled the print off the car, meaning you were on the crime scene and your skill go the print.
You just didnt flip through a file book and send a copy of a print to the FBI
He was doing his job, she was doing her job. With out him the prints would of just been picked up by someone else. without her, someone else would of just sent in the prints/never sent them in at all.
Maybe crack is the wrong word. How about "Intern puts an end to 36 year old cold case"

Or proper data entry ends 36 year old case.

Wait, wasnt the prints submitted once, but sinec they were not on record they coudlnt find anything? she sent them the 2nd time and got lucky right?
give her some credit. Her assignment as an intern was to go through old cases... she saw that with this case, there were good finger prints and decided to resubmit it to see if anything came up on the national database. While that is all she did, she is still responsible for and because she was paying attention. Granted, I think she was pretty lucky to have that job and any intern would probably have stumbled over it.
I'm just saying to still give her some credit.
Made a difference = Good job.

When I dropped a satellite, I made a difference.
Good job? [cheeky]
I think you guys missed the point of the posting.............
"cracking a cold case"
She didn't crack shit. She just sent in finger prints for the FBI to run through their database.
They made the article sound like she did a lot of investigating to crack the case.
She did shit.
I am not discounting she did help solve the crime, but saying they would hire her as a detective?
Come on.

AFIS didn't exist 36 years ago when the prints were actually taken. There was nothing to submit them into. In my eyes, she's just a body doing work that no one else had the time to do....

Perhaps you should re-read that story.
Said nothing of hiring her as a detective.
I think cyrus point was that the story acted as if she broke the case as in doing detective work. She did her job well but it was not detective work.
