Thread for discussing blood at the front door/porch, DNA possibilities and results.

I wanted to bring over these excellent posts on possible shoe print or tread print.

I think he did walk through the blood because I see repeat square patterns that look like transfer from the sole of a sneaker.

I threw together a quick and dirty YT short on a possible shoe match: Ecco Golf LT1.

I'm very aware that IR light can mess with colors (e.g., the shoe could be all black), but this particular model seems to align in more ways that one.

Could be interesting if the guy was wearing golf shoes. Obvously, I'm not a golfer (obligatory Lebowski), so I have no idea of why one would wear a spikeless golf shoe while not golfing. Do you think this could be the shoe?

Nice work!
FWIW and maybe you already did this, but when you lighten up the tread on the “black” or “dark green” part of the sole, (shown here) on the golf shoe you found, IMO, the little square type shapes look similar to the blood stain prints that you and Tortoise pointed out in posted pics.

Anyone want to take a shot at trying to figure out what made this blood imprint?

I'm still looking, but here's one guess.

Has anyone been looking into this? Is it a shoeprint or something else?
