ABSTRACT

A burglary was reported at 31 Spooner St., Quahog, RI. Officer Joe Swanson, the uniformed officer taking the report, has discovered that the POE (point of entry) is the rear (east) entry door. Two other CSIs have processed the scene inside and did not recover any evidence; however, they did document the scene. After the CSI team left, Officer Swanson discovered a footwear impression in the flower garden just south of the door. The footwear impression was 13" north of the edge of the sidewalk and 10" from the base of the wall. The sidewalk is 42" wide at this point. The footwear impression appears to be quite large, perhaps a men’s size 12 or 13. No one in the victim’s family has a shoe size that large. (The victim’s name is Peter Griffin. Peter is 5'8", 275 lbs. His shoe size is men’s 8. He has a wife, Lois. Her shoe size is women’s 8. They have three children, a boy, Chris, shoe size 9; girl, Meg, shoe size women’s 5; and a toddler, Stewie. They also have a dog named Brian.) Since no one in the family wears that size shoe, Officer Swanson has called for a CSI to recover the footwear impression.
