Abstract

The ABIS® system is a crucial tool for human identification, particularly in cases of mass accidents and disaster victims. This technology was acquired by the Secretary of Social Defense of Pernambuco and was employed under the auspices of the Tavares Buril Identification Institute-IITB to posthumously identify the victims of a natural disaster caused by heavy rain in the State. Its database receives information from identity cards – digitally generated documents – as well as through the gradual scanning of physical records. This study aimed to analyze the use of ABIS® in the necropapiloscopic identification of victims of the natural disaster that occurred in Pernambuco in the year 2022, using a biometric database under construction that identified, with an average processing time of 10 minutes, 12 of the 104 victims identified by fingerprints. Among these, 11 identifications were made in 2022, and one in 2023, following new tests conducted by the researchers of this study. Consequently, the system's implementation facilitates rapid automated necropapiloscopic comparisons in the aforementioned natural disaster. The inclusion of information in the database and the digitization of medical records directly contributed to these identifications, enabling the recognition of an additional victim. This underscores the significance of re-evaluating forensic cases with initially negative or inconclusive results, thereby leading to new identifications.
