In 1893, which individual operated an office that solved the Rojas murder using fingerprints?

The individual who operated an office that solved the Rojas murder using fingerprints in 1893 is indeed Vucetich. He is renowned for being one of the pioneers in forensic science, specifically in the use of fingerprint analysis for criminal identification. Vucetich developed the first successful fingerprint identification system in Argentina, leading to the establishment of a fingerprint registry that allowed him to link fingerprints at crime scenes to known individuals. His breakthrough in the Rojas case marked a significant advancement in forensic science and demonstrated the practicality of fingerprint evidence in solving homicide cases, thereby influencing later practices in criminal identification using fingerprints.

Other figures mentioned have made significant contributions to fingerprinting; Dr. Henry Faulds is known for advocating for the use of fingerprints in crime detection, Sir Edward Henry developed the Henry Classification System, and Sir William Herschel was among the first Europeans to utilize fingerprints for identification. However, it was Vucetich's direct application of fingerprints in solving a murder case that solidified his place in forensic history during this particular event in 1893.
