장문의 또 다른 형태인 움켜쥔 흔적(grip impression, 이하 그립흔)은 사건이 일어난 당시 가해자와 피해자 사이에서 일어난 접촉을 증명해주는 증거로, 그립흔과 함께 남겨진 지문의 형태와 위치를 보고 손바닥의 어느 부분이 닿은 것인지 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 cotton, nylon, polyester 직물에 유류된 그립흔을 vacuum metal deposition (VMD)로 현출하여 그립흔의 융선 디테일로 개인을 식별할 수있는지에 대하여 연구하였다. 그 결과 VMD로 현출된 그립흔은 개인식별에 한계가 있었으나 현장 재구성의 단서로 사용할 수 있는 새로운 가능성을 발견하였다.
A grip impression is evidence of contact between the assailant and victim in a case. The shape of the grip impression can be analyzed to reconstruct which part of the palm it contacted. This study explored whether the grip impression left on cotton, nylon, and polyester fabrics can be identified by vacuum metal deposition (VMD). The latent grip impression developed by VMD had limitations in personal identification, but a new possibility was found that could be used as evidence for crime-scene reconstruction.
