About this episode

Episode 134 Cathy Sue Swartz Part 1 of 2

The brutal, bloody murder of single mom Cathy Sue Swartz in her own home rocked the community of Three Rivers, Michigan. Cathy had been chased down and slain by her killer as her baby lay in her crib in the next room. Investigators had ample evidence to help them identify Cathy's killer: a fingerprint, a footprint, and a possible eyewitness. Over 1000 people provided finger and footprints to police in this case…and yet the killer eluded them. It took the powers of forensic genealogy to identify him, and when they did, police were astonished to learn who he was. But they did not get all the answers they sought – Cathy's killer had the last laugh.
