Bare footprints in victim's blood lead to arrest in 1993 Minneapolis murder

In the summer of 1993, a woman named Jeanie Childs was taken from the world with savage violence in her Minneapolis apartment, leaving behind not only grief but an unusual gift to justice: the bare, blood-pressed footprints of her killer. For twenty-six years those prints waited in silence, a patient witness, until advances in DNA science and the quiet art of forensic genealogy gave investigators the language to finally read them — leading, at last, to the arrest of Jerry Westrom, a businessman whose ordinary life had long concealed an extraordinary secret.
