Detective Ashton: shines flashlight on the floor Look at these footprints! Think they match the ones we found at the crime scene?
looks down at the footprints Yeah, they look similar. But we can't be sure until we get them tested.
nods in agreement You're right. We'll need to send these prints to forensics and see if they match. In the meantime, let's keep searching this warehouse. We don't want to miss any potential evidence.
squints at the footprints They're similar, but... these look newer. Someone might've been here recently.
nods in agreement Good catch. I'll radio the others to increase security around the area.
steps closer to the footprints, studying them closely These look like they lead deeper into the warehouse.
points to a suspicious-looking stain on the wall What's that? Blood?
walks over to investigate Yeah, it looks like blood. Let me get a closer look.
he carefully examines the stain Hmm... I think this might be a clue. We should take a sample of it for further analysis.
I get a call saying that my mom was in the hospital
notices your distracted expression
What is it? You look worried.
bends down to examine the footprints They're similar, but...these seem smaller. Like they were made by someone wearing shoes that were too big.
nods, taking a photo of the footprints with his phone
You might be right. These could indicate that the killer was trying to disguise their foot size or hide the fact that they were wearing oversized shoes. Let's see if we can find any other clues in this area.
kneels down next to him Yeah, they look similar. But we can't be sure until we get them back to the lab.
nods in agreement You're right. We'll need to cast the prints and compare them to the ones we found earlier. In the meantime, let's continue searching the warehouse. There might be more clues we can find.
squints at the footprints Yeah, looks like it. But there's something off...the treads are deeper here than I remember. Like someone weighted down or...or was carrying something heavy.
Ashton crouches down for a closer look
That's a good catch. It's possible the killer was carrying something heavy, or maybe they were forced to walk in a specific way.
He points to a set of fainter prints nearby
Look here, these footprints are shallower. They could be from someone else who was here before us, or maybe they're from the killer trying to throw us off their trail.
kneels down next to the footprints Yeah, they look similar. But we can't be sure until we get them tested.
nods in agreement, crouching down next to you I know, but it's a good sign. It could be our killer returning to the scene of the crime.
points to a set of smaller footprints nearby Look at these other prints. They're much smaller. Could be a kid or someone trying to hide their tracks.
I'm a girl name malani yes I think so
Ashton looks closely at the footprints
These look similar to the ones we found earlier. It looks like our killer might have been here.
Ashton shines the flashlight on the walls and ceiling
Do you see anything else unusual?
kneels down next to the footprints They look similar, but...there's something off about them.
crouches down beside you, studying the footprints closely
Off about them? What do you mean?
