General Questions
Can I determine anything from the footprints in the side yard?
- If you analyze the footprints, you'll get a cast that you can compare
with people's shoes.
- Of course, if you haven't seen any footprints, you can't analyze them.
- And you'll have to be careful not to make a mess in the muddy yard.
- If you don't make a cast of the prints the first time you're there
after the rain storm, you'll confuse them with your own footprints.
- Try to find the muddy boots.
- After the gunshot, they're on the shoe platform in the entry.
- The muddy boots match the footprints.
- Try asking Phong about the muddy boots.
- He'll admit that he was in the side yard just before the gunshot, but
he'll claim that he heard a noise.
- Actually, he goes there to "plant" the muddy handgun and watch for
Stiles to arrive.
