A person's fingerprints are commonly used by law enforcement to identify and capture suspects.
A lack of fingerprints along with other suspicious forensic evidence is occasionally a clue for Sam and Dean that they are dealing with something unnatural. Both of the Winchesters have been fingerprinted after being arrested with their fingerprints, at the time, linking Dean to over a dozen possible crimes.[1] As a result, the Winchesters often make sure to wipe away their fingerprints at crime scenes to avoid being identified as having been there.[2][3] A Nephilim's fingerprints are different than that of a regular human's being vertical lines rather than whorl.[4] A ghoul can leave behind traceable fingerprints that can be matched up, at least while they are using one consistent form.[5]
