Jeanne Childs Part 1 of 2
Episode 79 Jeanne Childs Part 1 of 2 The 1993 stabbing murder of 35 year old Jeanne Childs was just one of the many homicides Minneapolis investigators had to deal with during the “Murderapolis” era. But crime scene technicians did a thorough job, and carefully preserved many crucial pieces of evidence from the bloody scene in the apartment Jeanne shared with her boyfriend and alleged pimp, Arthur. Several potential suspects emerged, including a man who had killed another woman in a similar fashion, and a man whose blood was found near Jeanne’s apartment. But one clue – a set of bloody male footprints, would prove to be a vital supplement to the male DNA found at the scene. Forensic genealogy led investigators to a man whose name was not on police radar – but was in Jeanne’s client list. His name is Jerry Westrom, and his footprints placed him in Jeanne’s apartment next to her bloody corpse.
