The only thing I disagree with is the fact that it was exposed that “we have a perfect boot print”. If the guy saw that.. the boots will be burned or buried (thrown away etc).

Yup, but the perp will have thousands of boot prints around his house, in his truck, and at his usual haunts.

Besides his ever lovin' buddies will notice the replacement footwear and that if nothing else will cinch it in their mind$...
