Queensland Police Museum Sunday Lecture Series September 25, 11am - 12.30pm

Shoe prints as important evidence
Scientific officers use the patterns left behind by shoes as one method of linking a suspect to the scene of a crime. Who would have thought that the humble shoe sole would be as important to forensic science as it is today?
Shoe prints are a well-known type of evidence found at numerous crime scenes. Some of serial killer Ted Bundy’s crimes are only linked through the use of shoe prints. Such evidence was also of importance in the O. J. Simpson case.
Senior Sergeant Piper of the QPS Scientific Section, will discuss how scientific officers’ conduct shoe print comparisons as well as enhancement techniques. He will demonstrate these forensic procedures in an interactive component of the seminar.
The one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday, September 25 and will provide educational and up-to-date content suitable for all audiences.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
