Head back to the crime scene pick up the Criminal's dagger (see image step 2). Use your pot of flour with the dagger to coat it with flour. Use a Flypaper with the dagger to obtain an Unknown print.
-
Now you must search the barrels in each of the 6 children's rooms for their belongings. Use flour
and flypaper on these to obtain their fingerprints.

- Bob's room: Silver cup
- Carol's room: Silver bottle
- David's room: Silver book
