A Minnesota businessman has been charged in a 25-year-old murder case of a child. The FBI ran a DNA sample from the crime scene with the help of a genealogy website in 2018 & got a match. They then got a sample from the prime suspect Jerry Westrom & investigators matched the DNA they got from a napkin to the DNA found on a washcloth. It matched & even after his arrest, the DNA connected him to the crime scene.
