I saw this in the Seattle Times yesterday too and it's really bothering me. Do you think that this man could maybe be a serial killer that they've not yet tied to different cases? In the article it said that he wasn't even doing the typical thing that identity thefts do (i.e. - getting credit and obtaining other things in another person's name). Also, why else would he do this?

It's under the Desmond identity that he was caught in 1998 trying to alter his fingerprints while applying for a concealed-handgun permit in Seattle.
According to Velling and evidence presented in court, Shain first attempted to obliterate the prints by painting a substance over his fingertips. When that failed, he used some sort of acid to try to burn them off.
