>Considering the mold changed<P>>over time then these would be the <BR>>list of persons to check for <BR>>the print. If none of them <BR>>made the print, it would have <BR>>to come from the intruder<P>How long did it take that mold to regenerate? The print in the photo did indeed look fresh. I would imagine that print would've been made within a day or two though since whatever it was it grew and make it look 'fuzzier'. If it cracked and crunched under foot, then that sounds to me like a crystaline growth. I've seen that in the basement of a house in Illinois but it's usually seen in some caves. If it's the same thing I have no idea how quick it grows.<P>>The Hi-Tek <BR>>boot that made this print was <BR>>very distinctive, probably not a routine <BR>>part of the officers and detectives <BR>>footwear, unless they came in swat <BR>>uniforms or outdoor/hiking/climbing wear. <P>You say this Hi-Tek boot is a for hiking and climbing? Intersting. I understand there was a "bag of rope" discovered in the guest room and nobody knew where it had come from. Was that really rope, and if so, what kind? 'Standard rope' or 'Climbers rope'? <BR>
