So in that particular case, the purchases of those shoes actually โ
They slipped them on before they went into the residence, okay?
So that you couldn't pick up on specific forensic points of identification.
Now, I don't know anything about this guy's footwear.
Don't misconstrue what I'm saying.
I have no idea.
But I can tell you this, Dollars to Donuts, they're trying to track down the shoes as well to see if there's anything there.
I don't know what was in the house.
I don't know if he tracked through.
I could see them doing what are called mylar lifts of dust off of the floor.
It's a magnetic lift that we do at crime scenes where you can actually get a footprint pattern off of this.
They would have been searching for that.
hopefully in the event that they didn't go in and willy-nilly screw up anything in there when they're walking through the house.
Because initially when you work a so-called kidnapping or missing persons case, it's frenetic.
You walk in, you're not treating it necessarily like a crime scene like we would with a homicide scene.
You're going closet to closet, you're clearing the house, you're looking through, you're trying to look under beds, all that sort of stuff.
And just trying to assess the scene to see if you can find her anywhere in there.
Then you have to back out at that point in time and lock it down.
Again, I know I'm preaching to the choir here.
Another problem that I have is the fact that they didn't lock it down.
