MANILA – The Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) opened the vehicle of slain advertising executive Kae Davantes Wednesday morning to lift more fingerprints. They were able to find some on the car window, but they still have to look for more inside to give clues on Davantes’ killer. They first used the superglue fuming process--a fingerprint recovery technique wherein they leave the glue for 60 hours inside the vehicle. But the SOCO failed to recover fingerprints. They also used magnetic powder, but also failed to lift a single fingerprint. Authorities said the perpetrators cleaned the whole car thoroughly, removed all the seats, and even tried to burn the car in an attempt to destroy evidence. “’Yung mga perpetrators could have some knowledge kung paano linisin ‘yung sasakyan,” said chief Supt. Christopher Laxa, deputy regional director for operations of the National Capital Region Police Office. Clothes soaked in fuel and dried leaves were also found inside the car. After Davantes left the open parking of Bonifacio Global City at 1 a.m. of September 7, her vehicle was seen entering the South Luzon Expressway tollgate from C5 at 1:19 a.m., and exited at Filinvest at 1:30 a.m. Sources said Davantes was able to reach her house in Moonwalk Village, Las Piñas and left again at 2 a.m. Police said vital pieces of information are coming in now that the reward was raised to P2.5 million. “It’s only a matter of time before we accomplish our job to identify and arrest the killers,” Sr. Supt. Robert Fajardo said. Reward posters were distributed and posted by the Las Piñas Police around Verdant Subdivision in Pamplona Tres, where her car was abandoned.
