Francisca Rojas:

Francisca Rojas is believed to be the first criminal found guilty through fingerprint evidence in the world.

On June 19, 1892, 27-year-old Rojas murdered her two children in Necochea, Buenos Aires Province, in Argentina. Her six-year-old son, Ponciano Carballo Rojas, and his four-year-old sister Teresa were found brutally murdered in their home. Francisca tried to simulate an attack by cutting her own throat and then blaming the murders on her neighbor Pedro Ramón Velázquez.

The report of the murder did not reach La Plata (the provincial capital) until July 8. Police Inspector Alvarez, of the Central Police, was sent to Necochea to assist local police with the investigation. When he arrived, he found police had no leads. Rojas denied having anything to do with the children's deaths. Velázquez also implicitly denied killing the children. Alvarez quickly determined that Velázquez had an alibi, having been out with several friends at the time of the murders. Alvarez also learned that Rojas' other boyfriend had been overheard saying he would marry her "except for those two brats".
