For three decades, the keyto identifying a pedestrianstruck and killed near an in-terstate exit ramp sat at in-vestigators’ fingertips. Theyjust didn’t realize it.

The man was walking onInterstate 65 in central Ken-tucky in 1984 when he wasstruck by a semitruck. Withno identification, the onlyclues he left were a coupleof tattoos, a pack of ciga-rettes and his fingerprints.

The prints yielded nomatches. John Doe’s body

Police Lt. Brian Sumner said.Now, the man has a

name: Roy Andrew Langley,who sometimes went by thealias “Red Anderson.” Hespent his life in and out ofpolice custody and was 34when he died by the side ofthe road in Elizabethtown.

A preliminary identifica-tion was made in May, andthis week, the HardinCounty Coroner’s Of ficetracked down Langley’s sis-ter in Houston for confirma-tion. Attempts by The Asso-ciated Press to reach DebraLangley Hamidian were un-successful Friday.

Transposing fingerprintsisn’t an everyday mistake,but it’s not uncommon, saidTodd Matthews, director ofcase management and com-munications for the NationalMissing and UnidentifiedPersons System.

“There have been othertimes where prints wereflipped,” Matthews said, al-though he didn’t have statis-tics on the frequency.

Parentsthat feel their children wouldbenefit from the timeless les-sons of “To Kill A Mocking-bird” should be prepared todiscuss these lessons andthemes with them.

Forensic analyst KeithDollinger went throughJohn Doe’s file and noticedsomething odd about theridges and patterns of thefingerprints.

“It looked to me like righthand prints were on the lefthand card because of theway the ridges wentthrough,” he said.
