Wow. And so they get the DNA sample and they make an arrest. How did Jeannie's family react to hearing about who the suspect was?

Welcome back. In February of 2019, Jerry Westrom was arrested when he was 52 years old and he was charged with the murder of Jeannie Childs. Now, police questioned him for 11 minutes before he asked for an attorney. I want to play a clip of that interview that didn't make it into the show.

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.

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.
