Carl Day didn’t photograph the alleged print, or cover it with cellophane like he did with the others, even though he had time to do so. He was told to turn over all the evidence to Vince Drain, but didn’t turn this over or even notify Drain of its existence. Day claimed that there were still traces left on the rifle. Latona didn’t learn of the existence of this print until Nov. 29 when it arrived on an index card, sent separately from anything else. Latona found no traces of the print or even any indication that the area had been processed. Hoover claimed that 5 spots on the lift were matched to “pits” on the rifle, but all we have is a smudge with lines drawn on it, nor is there any documentation or report from who did the match and how it was done. Or even any communication with Day as to exactly where the lift was taken to see if they were “matching” to the same spot. Drain told Henry Hurt that he didn’t think it was legitimate.
