Cesar Sayoc: How US authorities used one fingerprint to catch serial pipe bomb suspect

It took less than five days for US law enforcement officials to identify the man they believe was responsible for sending at least 13 pipe bombs to political opponents of President Donald Trump. Mobile phone data, DNA records, spelling mistakes and a single fingerprint all played a part in leading to the arrest of Cesar Sayoc at a parking lot in Plantation, Florida. Mr Trump said investigators had done “an incredible job” in bringing in a suspect so quickly after a string of suspicious packages were discovered at homes and offices in New York, Florida and California.
