...found palm prints and hair that didn't belong to Reid on the shoes. Authorities have also found Reid's e-mails, including one from Pakistan urging Reid to try again after a failed attempt to board the same flight one day earlier. French police think Reid, who flew penniless, must have left cash and belongings behind with an associate. Terror expert Roland Jacquard says locating Reid's Paris hosts is crucial because a suicide bomber's last contact is often with a spiritual adviser.
