"Investigators also rediscovered photographs of latent fingerprints in blood from inside the apartment and were able to individualize one of the prints to Bell,"
"The prosecution claims that there was some sort of fingerprint found at a crime scene. Once we get evidence as prosecution, I'm going to hire a fingerprint expert to take a look at that evidence, [and] see if it's reliable,"
"The combination of advanced forensic science and unrelenting investigative work has given the family and friends of Caryn Bonner, like those of Ruth Foster before them, the reality of seeing a charged defendant answer for a crime that has left years of loss and sorrow in its wake. We never consider a homicide"
Cornell Bell, 54, faces one count of first-degree murder for the 1999 killing of 34-year-old Caryn Bonner, who was found stabbed in her kitchen. Investigators matched Bell's DNA from a cigarette butt in Bonner's apartment using the FBI's CODIS system and rediscovered latent fingerprint photographs in blood that were individualized to Bell. Bell is already serving a life sentence after a 2022 conviction for the murder of his girlfriend. Bell’s attorney objected to a prosecution motion seeking a DNA sample and plans to hire a fingerprint expert to review the evidence. Another decades-old Boston homicide was recently charged as well.
