Walking In Another’s Shoes

Along with other evidence found at an outdoor crime scene, footprints can bring order to the chaos a criminal act normally creates. Identifying and interpreting the tracks of the actors will lead to an understanding of the order of events, relative position of the people involved and information leading to the identification of the suspect. The two-dimensional surface of the ground can be made to yield its secrets to the investigator experienced in footprint analysis. With these secrets in hand, crimes can be solved and perpetrators brought to justice.
