The Importance of Shoe Size in a Murder Case

Shoe prints provide movement patterns depending on how many have been left behind. If there are tread patterns on the bottom of the shoe, you get some information related to possibly the make and model of the shoe. I would imagine in mud in this nursery, the quality of these shoe prints are likely very poor, not like comparison quality. So it helps reconstruct movement which also can help guide a CSI as to where to focus the energies to get evidence to identify who this person is.
