Could a discarded napkin hold the key to solving a decades-old murder? On this episode we uncover the chilling story of Jeannie Childs, a vibrant 35-year-old whose life was violently taken in her Minneapolis apartment. With the advent of genetic genealogy, a breakthrough finally emerged, leading investigators to Jerry Westrom, whose DNA led to his arrest and conviction. 
This is a tribute not only to Jeannie and her loved ones but also to the power of determination and the advances in forensic technology that brought closure to a haunting mystery. I invite you to be part of this compelling narrative and contribute your own stories for consideration in future episodes.
