Canada's top expert talks footprints
at 'Crime Scene Wolfe Island' event
"Jim Eadie is a forensics expert with the Ontario Provincial Police. He's one of the good guys. He knows more about
footprints than almost anyone in North America."
-- The Toronto Star
The Scene of the Crime Festival is delighted to welcome Const. Jim Eadie, one of North America's top footprint experts,

not know about those Bruno Magli shoes.

why all footprints are unique to the technique for making casts of footprints in snow.
