An officer responds to a burglary. The front door lock is intact, a rear window is shattered with glass on the interior floor, and muddy footprints lead from the window to the bedroom. What is the most likely point of entry?
Answer: The rear window, because glass fragments are inside and footprints lead from it
Glass on the interior floor indicates the window was broken from outside. Muddy footprints from the window confirm the entry point.
