In forensic science identification of the suspect is one of the most important subject that has to be performed by the crime investigator. Relying on evidences many crimes can be solved relatively, but evidence, left by a suspect, at a crime scene is likely to include foot or shoe prints. Despite the fact that suspect cannot commit a crime without touching something or marching at a crime scene, only little percent crimes can be identified by using fingerprint or footprint identification. At least Locard’s ‘every contact leaves a trace’ principle is a well-known motto that clarifies this approach. In this study the significant contribution of forensic ridgeology and personal identification is demonstrated via a bare footprint that is obtained in a burglary investigation which is set out in Turkey in 2010. It is showed in the incident that bare footprint has uniqueness and related investigation has resulted with success because of matching footprints.
