There is actually no set number as to how many finger prints are got from a crime scene. There are cases where the criminal is a pro and does not leave even one full finger print and there are cases where the criminal is a novice or someone is being framed where multiple prints are found.

Are there fingerprints from the Zodiac Killer?

The science of fingerprinting is more complicated than most people believe. Each finger on each hand is completely different from the others. If a partial print is found it must be compared to the exact finger in the exact location, such as the side or top of the finger. At any one crime scene, the chance of a usable print is about 20% to 30% if luck is with the investigator. It also needs to be pointed out that it is very easy to smudge or contaminate fingerprints at crime scenes. With the bloody fingerprint at the Stine murder scene was most likely contaminated by the many people that worked the crime scene at Washington and Cherry St. in San Francisco. There were prints at the Lake Berryessa crime scene that could not be matched and a nearby pay phone with finger and palm prints. Fingerprints as evidence must be near-pristine in order to conclude innocence or guilt. Of course the prints from the letters sent to police and press were beyond use due to the many hands that touched them enroute to their destinations.
