Mrs. Manker's Forensics Class
Mrs. Manker used the BHS CSI team to fingerprint soda cans from her recycle box at home. She suspected that her son was sneaking sodas when he's not allowed to on weekdays. The team dusted and lifted the prints and compared them to the fingerprints she brought in of her family members at home. The CSI team did a great job! Mrs. Manker's is guilty as charged! Don't mess with the BHS CSI Team!
