So this case also had a really sort of interesting piece of evidence that you talked about a little bit earlier, these bloody footprints. And it was the focus for investigators. And at first I thought, oh, what a unique and perfect piece of evidence. But then afterwards I thought, but how do you what do you compare that to? There's no footprint database like there is for fingerprints.

So how do you even use this evidence?

In August of 2022, Jerry Westrom went on trial for Jeannie Chow's murder. Now, the jury heard from a defense witness who told police that she saw Jeannie Childs with a blonde man wearing a trench coat on the day she was murdered. But I'm wondering if there were any other suspects that the jury did not get a chance to hear about. So I had mentioned Arthur Gray.

And so ultimately, the jury does find Jerry Westrom guilty of murder in the first and second degrees. And then on September 9th, 2022, he's sentenced to life in prison. In 2024, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed Westrom's second degree conviction, but it upheld the first degree murder conviction. I'm just curious about why they reversed the second degree conviction.

Right, right. The punishment is the punishment. And he's going to be behind bars for a really long time. I think, I know for me, the most frustrating part of this story, though, is that we don't get to hear a why because he's not talking and he didn't testify.

So even though, I mean, we really don't know what happened in that apartment or why it happened, the fact that he was convicted after 25-odd years, does the family feel like they've received closure, that there's justice? Or are there so many still unanswered questions that there can never be closure?

Erin, another fascinating story. I learned more about DNA and I thought I knew a lot. I learned about footprints and whether or not they make for good evidence. And thanks for joining us.
