No, a partial palmprint showed up a week later on an index card.
a partial palmprint showed up a week later on an index card.That's true, but that's not the first appearance of the 3 X 5 index card. That so called "palm Print" which was nothing but an unidentifiable smudge that Lt Day imagined to be a palm print when he first saw it on the wooden foregrip of the rifle. Day knew that the wood would absorb what he thought might be a print so he lifted it just minutes after the rifle was retrieved from BENEATH the pallet. Tom Alyea watched as Day lifted that smudge and placed it on the 3 X 5 card...
That card is listed among the evidence that was turned over to the FBI at mid-night on 11 / 22 /63.
