Now, what's so interesting is I think jurors sometimes think that it's a slam dunk when there is DNA that has been obtained through genetic genealogy. But the truth is DNA, if it is collected and tested properly, it can show that somebody was there, but it can't tell you when they were there. And in this case, this case, as you said, Emery, happened in 1993.

That was when DNA was in its infancy, at least being used as a investigative tool. And so they did collect DNA and they collected those bloody footprints that are just so important in this case. But the DNA didn't match anyone back then. They did have a person of interest. She was living with a boyfriend, Arthur Gray. But he had an alibi. He was out of town that weekend.

And they took those unknown bloody footprints and compared them to Arthur Gray and said that they did not belong to him. So the case kind of went cold. And then in 2015, just about two decades later, you know, there were so many advances in DNA technology that they did more tests. And I thought this was really interesting. As you pointed out, Emery, there was a lot of DNA there in that apartment.

Yeah. According to police reports, Jeannie was a sex worker and there had been men in that apartment. But what was interesting is that they found one unknown profile, the specific that was not just in the bedroom, but also in the bathroom on a towel. And because investigators believe that the killer might have cleaned up in the bathroom, that was significant to them.

And so that is the DNA that belonged to Jerry Westrom. But all they had at that point, really, is the idea that Jerry had been in that apartment at some point. Right.
