Earprints are considered just as unique to an individual as fingerprints and dozens of earprints were used as evidence in this case. It was alleged that the burglar suspect pressed his ear against doors and windows to listen for anybody being home before breaking in.
In another statistic, earprints are found in 1 out of every 20 burglaries.
FearID or the Forensic Ear Identification project financed by the European Union was the research used to establish earprints as a forensic tool.
