Confessions of a Forensic Detective

Detective Ed Adach has been a Toronto police officer for 43 years. The first 10 years were as a uniformed copper in the gritty downtown area; currently, and for the past 33 years in the forensic unit. Detective Adach will be working a few more years, just for the fun of it.

Along with the murder and mayhem of Toronto, Detective Adach has investigated war crimes in Kosovo for the United Nations, and has taught forensics in Afghanistan.

Today members of the Escarpment PROBUS Club of Milton will be taken behind the yellow police line, and you will get a glimpse of real CSI work.

Fingerprints and DNA are well publicized forensic tools. Today their “poorer cousin”, the footprint, will be highlighted. Actual homicide cases will be used to reveal the impact of this under-estimated evidence.

To demonstrate the wide variety of shoe soles in the community, one Probus member will have an opportunity to win $50, if they are wearing “the shoes of a murderer”. If the shoes you are wearing happen to be the same pattern as Detective Adach’s example, he will give you $50 (no alibi required).

Lastly, check out this 4min video clip of Detective Adach showing what detectives can learn from footprints for CBC; https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/if-the-shoe-fits-what-forensic-detectives-can-learn-from-footprints-1.4928159
