of food with, because I just think it's so disgusting.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
All right, So then here's what you do. You text in,
or you can use the talkback feature and let us know.
Open up the talkback feature and let us know what
disgusting thing does your partner eat? For example, maybe you're like,
I don't know, gizzards. Maybe your partner buys a big
thing of chicken gizzards down at the butcher and they
fry them up and they eat chicken gizzards like people

(08:43):
would eat peanuts. Maybe that's one what disgusting thing? And
let me know if you're on my side about the
ketchup because it was glorious. No, what disgusting thing or
combination does your partner, your friend dads are really good
at this. One's dad like, oh yeah, I love the
neck of the turkey, and then I love the giblets
of the No save the spleen for me.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I if someone did text in in the set, I
put ketchup on my eggs.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm thirty four, don't catch up. Shame day.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
But then they responded again and said, wait, hold on,
I just looked at that picture.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I retract my statement. That's far too much ketchup. Is
there anything left in the bottle? Day? Half? About half?

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Yeah? Half?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
So text or use the talkback feature, let us know
what disgusting thing does your partner eat. We're gonna take
a break. We'll be right back with those. Will play
your voice on the radio on talkback Tuesday. It is Tuesday,
Talkback Tuesday. We'll do that coming up next. I am
true to myself. I love ketchup on my eggs. I
put a lot of ketchup on an omelet. I put
a picture of it on my Instagram, and so Jenny
starts on the attack. So then we turned this into

(09:45):
something fun and positive, because that's what I do. I
turned things limit into liming, limited into lemonade. That's me
and so we said, give us a talkback or text
in what is the weird food or combination of foods
that your partner eats? And we've got a bunch of these.
Here's a text message. My thirteen year old son loves
deer heart. People will drop their deer hearts on our

(10:06):
house for him to eat. I think he ate five
deer hearts last season. Fries it in butter and lowery seasoning, salt, yuck.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Good for him though, You know what, if he likes it,
then he likes it. Yeah, classic rippled potato chips with ketchup.
If you say you don't like it, you're lying. No,
that actually sounds really good.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
We have a handsheld let's say, grape jelly on grilled
cheese or strawberry jelly on grilled cheese, and then pickles
on peanut butter sandwiches. We got a lot of those.
Those two particular sandwiches. I've never had either.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I've heard that before. Yeah, we got some talkbacks too,
I believe on the talkback feature and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Check it out.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Eggs sandwich with miracle with on one side of the bread,
peanut butter on the other side of the bread and
then cheese, fried egg and either ham or bacon with
salt and pepper.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know what, I needs a lot of flavors in
that profile, right, there are so many good things that
are involved in it, so I can't be bad.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's probably just a lot mm hmm. Yeah, we have
more Jenny pants. Another one. Okay.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
The grossest combination I have ever seen was not by
my husband, but by our son. He's seven now. At
the time, he must have been like one and a
half or two years old, but I saw him dip
his apple slices into his ketchup. Yes, he also puts
ketchup on his eggs. Not as much as Dave, but.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Ketchup. Let's see. It's acceptable because he's a kid. Yeah,
his palette is not refined yet.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Okay, but then kids also don't eat Kathy Ar but
adults are like or sushi. You don't see a five
year old eat sushi. Although as soon as I say that,
you know somebody's gonna call in say, I'm little girl,
Lisa my or.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah I did.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
We had sushi every Friday. We got more of these things.
I don't know how many we've got.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I will keep playing something Okay, Hi, my name's Christina.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I mean when I was pregnant, I really liked watermelon
and mustard, or I liked, oh, pickles and peanut butter.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I've heard that one a lot. I mean the pickles
and peanut butter, in my opinion, is still good. That's
pickles peanut butter.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I've heard people do mustard and watermelon, though that sounds different.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Would you try it?

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Though?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
If you're a pickaniic and somebody says, hey, try this
just once, would you try it?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
I don't think so. I would try anything once.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
I would unless like the though, the kid who eats
deer hearts, if someone said here's a deer heart, I
probably would not eat.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
That same Yeah, you know what, but what if you
didn't know what it was. What if they said, that's
a really delicious Kobe beef.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah, somebody that I probably would, So it is kind
of all in your head.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
But who I wonder, Bailey.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I wonder if anybody listening has ever been told it's
something and then you eat it and go, oh, thoughtually good,
and then they go yeah, that's a deer spleen and you're.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like, oh, that was the first time I ever ate venison.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I didn't know it was venison because I didn't know,
like I didn't have that word in my vocabulary.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
So someone was like, oh, it's venison.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
I was like, all right, and I ate it, like
this is delicious, and they're like, yeah, it's deer.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I'm like, but it's actually really good. I don't talk back.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
I love my dippits. I can't stand dry food. I
put jelly on eggs, put jelly and ketchup on.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hash growns, but that's a lot of ketchup.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
My husband puts peanut butter on everything, eggs, waffles, burgers.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Everything, Okay, peanut butter burger, though, is really good.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
It is.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
They have them at the Blue Door.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
They have it with bacon as well, so it's like
peanut butter on the burger and with bacon.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Delicious.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Don't you love burger places like that that have like weird,
odd combos. It's like, it's a burger on a waffle
with peanut butter, and you're like, yes, give it to me.

into favorite musical moments than Dave's Dirt and then another
another picker ticket Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
So here's another one.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
So it's not my partner, it's me. Everybody thinks it's gross.
I eat peanut butter and pineapple together. It has to
be fresh pineapple, but it's peanut butter and pineapple, and
everyone thinks it's gross. Also, Dave, that is gross. Nobody
likes that much or at all, any on their eggs.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Grow up. I love judgment.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
As she's calling, she's doing about hers, and then she's like,

You disgust me. God, Hi, what's grosser you? Guys?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Honestly you amount of ketchup I put on my eggs

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm not in it for the nutrition, Okay, I'm in
it for the pure joy.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Dumb calories, m all right, but it makes you feel
after And what is is the bit? Heave a name?

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yes, it's called what's the tea with Tracy? And let
me explain how it works. So I occasionally do this
little like Boston, New Jersey Brooklyn accent for a lady
and people really seem to like it. So what you're
gonna do is you're going to be a part of
it and send me your gossip. So what's the tea
with Tracy? Give me your tea. What's the tea? What's
the gossip happening around your neighborhood?

Speaker 3 (15:25):
You're working text message with your family?

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Any kind of gossip texted in at katiewb one that's
five three nine two one. I'll read off your gossip
with my nosy neighbor Tracy accent. Okay, we don't know
what kind of accent this says, but she's a nosy
neighbor and it name's Tracy.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I like her, all right, So I've got a I've
got a story to begin with.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
As we're waiting for your text. Yes, with your gossipy
neighborhood gossip, what place gossip, family gossip, any kind of gossip.
What's the tea? What's happening in your life? So I
can read it off onto the air. All right, So
this is my first story. The story comes straight from
my neighborhood in Minneapolis. Okay, the other day, the fire
truck and the ambulance rode up to my building, hauled

(16:08):
out of there and straight down the stairs to the
apartment right next to mine. All right, there's an older
woman and she lives there, and I thought, oh lord.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
She's I hope she's not dead. I hope not so.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
But then I heard her talk and thank goodness, And
it turns out she was stuck in her bathroom. Maybe
she slipped to something getting out of the bathtom and
they had to use a sheet to hoist her up
to get her on a gurney and she oh, she yelled,
She yelled, and she yelled, but they got her into
the ambulance.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
She hasn't come back yet. I hope she's okay. That's
the tea that's happening in my neighborhood. Dave, do you
have any tea going on in your neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, only about the the housekeeper that was cleaning all
the different neighborhood's houses and were sleeping with the husbands.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
She was sleeping with the teping with the husbands. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And then she got pregnant by one of the husbands,
by one of them, yeah, And so every other family
in the neighborhood fire her because they didn't want her
sleeping with their husbands, because the husbands would come home
from work middle of the day while she was cleaning
unquote yes, and uh, and then hook up.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
She was cleaning the pipes, as they say, with all
the husbands in the neighborhood. Yes, she must have been
a very beautiful cleaning lady.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
I never saw a picture of her. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think she was willing and you know god, well
like okay, yep, okay.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Oh I'm getting some I'm getting some good gossip through
on text matches at five three, nine to two one.
This one says, my gal was seeing this guy from
Chicago for two months and just found out he has
a girlfriend. Oh my goodness, I can't imagine that happening.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Fun. Is this what people in the New Jersey sound
like at all?

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Jersey Shore is a terrible depiction of what people from
Jersey sound like.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh is it really?

Speaker 4 (17:45):
It's Jersey show was closer than what Bailey's doing, But
it's not what we sound like at all.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
No, this isn't Bailey. It's Tracy. Tracy. I mean, no neighbour.
Why are you Tracy?

Speaker 5 (17:55):
I just because it had what the what's the tea?
And then tea is Trace Tracy?

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:00):
What's the tea with Tracy? So it's my neighborhood, nosy gossip.
I cannot believe this scout was seeing this guy for
two months. He had a girlfriend the whole time. What
in the War of the roses is this? I have
some gossip I can share.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
Yees.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I recently was with some friends who was actually
with one of my really good friends, and they said
that they found out that she had gotten laid off
from her job, and she has not told any of us,
and she told them not to specifically, not tell us
that she's been laid off. So she hasn't had a
job in like six months and none of us knew.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
I wonder why she doesn't want you to know that
he doesn't have a job. Maybe she thinks you're gonna
judge her or something, and she's maybe kind of nervous
about it, or maybe she's just happy being being fun employed.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
As they say, that's what the kids are saying.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
Now.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Don't say don't tell somebody they're fun employed, because my
friend Josh got laid off and he's like, do not
tell me you're fun employed.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh, it gets under his skin. I've got some tea.
I've got some tea at katiewb one here.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Okay, this person says, I know someone who is marrying
his current fiance on the same date that they were
supposed to marry their ex fiance. I don't think the
current fiance knows. How weird is that. Oh my god,
I can't believe. I wonder if he just had that

(19:15):
date already and he said, you know what, this is
the one that's in my brain. It's already booked and busy,
so I better, I better just keep this date.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
Also, to be engaged to two women in such a
short amount of time. There's more gossip coming in. Oh
my goodness. Oh, here's some gossip here. I went out
with my coworkers. There was just the three of us,
but they started making out in front of me. I
left because I don't like being part of the drama.

(19:44):
But the man that was making out with my other
coworker has had sex with every female in the building.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh, my dad, I can't.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Oh my gosh. There's more tea coming in. He has

out so we don't just get into a bird circle.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
We tried nobody did it today.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
We are full of special guess here in the studio
this morning, and this one I was I found out
about because of a podcast video documentary about a murder
here in the Twin Cities, and I like a lot
of people love true crime, and so Jennifer Maierly, who
is over at Channel four investigative reporter, did this amazing documentary.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
Good morning, Jennifer, Good morning. So happy to join you
on this Friday.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'm amazed you came in serious. I'm like, you can
be on the phone. She's like, I will come in
if you want to. I'm like, no, okay, Well that's great.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm so happy to come in to be here with
all of you.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, thank you. And you've listened to Katie w to
be of course, and that's super cool. And you're from
here've been at Channel four for eleven years investigative reporting.
How did you come across this particular story? And tell
me a little bit about this story because it's fascinating.

Speaker 11 (24:50):
There are so many twists and turns with this story.

Speaker 10 (24:52):
But the way that it started is I met the
family in twenty nineteen and I don't think I'm giving
it away to say I met them during the trial
after a rest had been made in this nineteen ninety
three cold case. So it all started with a relationship
with the family of the victim, Jeanie Childs, and they
always said at some point, when the time was right,
they wanted to tell more of her story than what
people were hearing in court, more of how she lived

(25:15):
versus how she died.

Speaker 11 (25:17):
And so it started with that.

Speaker 10 (25:19):
But if we want to go back to what happened,
it starts in nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Three, nineteen ninety three, which is the year I started here.
So it was a long time ago, and it was
a murder that they could not solve, and they looked
at different people and they just couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 10 (25:34):
I mean, I will say this was a graphic crime scene.
It was a brutal, gruesome murder. Jeanie was stabbed at
least sixty five times.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Geez, now that's sixty five times. That's like a rage killing.
Where was this? This was an apartment building that some
of us might recognize.

Speaker 10 (25:53):
It's called the Horn Towers. It's in South Minneapolis, and
it's three distinct kind of grayish looking towers, So you
might not know it by that name, but if you've
driven by it, you would recognize these three buildings.

Speaker 11 (26:05):
They kind of stand out in some an airplas.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So she lived there, and then how did things develop?

Speaker 10 (26:13):
Sure, so some the shower was left running, a neighbor
reported it.

Speaker 11 (26:19):
They came and they found her body.

Speaker 10 (26:20):
They discovered her body, They followed up leads her boyfriend
who was living there. He had an alibi. He was
out of town on a motorcycle trip. They checked his DNA.
So here's what's interesting. Nineteen ninety three. We realized that
DNA was very new, but they knew to collect it.
This scene had a lot of blood, so they collected evidence.

(26:41):
This woman also worked as a sex worker, so they
knew there could be other kind of evidence there. And
one discovery that really stood out in the name of
our documentary is footprint to Murder. There was a bloody
footprint left behind barefoot a barefoot.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
This is not a shoe print.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Oh, I was going to say, I thought shoe So
it was a fun.

Speaker 11 (27:00):
And your actual foot.

Speaker 10 (27:01):
And bart Epstein, who was a forensic scientist with a
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at the time, had the foresight
to say, we need to preserve these we need to
get the DNA. We also need to preserve these footprints
because he thought on that day, June thirteenth, nineteen ninety three,
if they could figure out and match who that footprint
belonged to, they could find the killer.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Wow. But they could not. For a long time.

Speaker 11 (27:27):
They tried.

Speaker 10 (27:28):
They tried to match the footprint for years. What's interesting
is it can eliminate suspects as well, because it doesn't
just find the person who did it, but you try
to match it and it doesn't match. So her boyfriend
was eliminated as a suspect, some of her clients were eliminated,
people in the building, and it went cold.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
For years, like fifteenish years.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
Well, it wasn't reopened again until twenty fifteen, which is
twenty fifteen, So yeah, twenty ish years. And then they
didn't get any hits on the DNA through the National
DNA Data Byte Base where criminals DNA can be there.
In twenty eighteen, a couple of years later, there was
a case out in California, a notorious serial killer, the

(28:09):
Golden State Killer.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Oh, I've read of that.

Speaker 10 (28:12):
Yeah, And they use a new tool called forensic investigative
genetic genealogy.

Speaker 11 (28:17):
Have you heard of this?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
No? Yeah, what does that mean?

Speaker 10 (28:20):
Okay, so you know how we can get our DNA done.
You can submit it to a commercial or consumer database.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (28:27):
Well that's what they looked at.

Speaker 10 (28:29):
They took the DNA from the crime scene and they
put it in one of those commercial databases to see
if there was any match there. Because this person didn't
have to commit a crime that would be the National
Criminal Database DNA DABASE, it just had to have a
relative of the killer to have submitted DNA to try
to create a family tree.

Speaker 11 (28:47):
And that's how the biggest break in this case some.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Kind of like genealogy person who's like, I just wanted
to know who my great great uncle is.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
And then it's like, well, you helped solve a crime.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
So they traced it down to this guy who probably
had gotten away with it for nearly twenty years, and
he was like a hot in the podcast. In the
video they call him a hockey dad. He's like a
business owner, hockey dad, family guy, goes to church, normal
ordinary looking.

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Guy, met his wife the same year of the murder,
one month before the murder, married three kids. Hockey dad,
business owner and I Santi had arrests in his history,
so when they started looking at him, found arrest for
solicitation of prostitution, one conviction, one dismissed, and so they

(29:38):
started following him.

Speaker 11 (29:40):
We detail all of this in the documentary and so.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Interesting how they get his DNA because they followed him around.
They went to hockey games and tried to get his
like dirty napkin out of the trash, and eventually they
got his DNA and said, boom, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I feel like I don't want you to tell me
too much more because I want to like go. You
can watch and listen, right, you can watch. So it's
a documentary, it's all video.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
And I have to give props to Grant Virden, who's
the photojournalist I worked with. He was the photojournalist and
the editor, and he did an incredible job bringing this
story to life. The other thing that I mentioned is,
you know, I really got to know this family of
Genie Child's, and you know, it really changed my perspective
on true crime because we watch these and it's interesting
and there's these twists and turns, but you know, you're

(30:22):
kind of removed from it. But now these are real families,
real loss, real grief, real pain all these years later,
and right here there are neighbors, yeah, you know, right here,
And so it's given me a different perspective, which I
really appreciate. And they wanted all of her story to
be told, the hard parts, the good parts. She lived
a happy but troubled life. And they were okay with

(30:46):
the graphic images that we show because they wanted people
to know how bad this was.

Speaker 11 (30:51):
And it is a little more graphical.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
Give that disclaimer that it's more sensitive than what we
would normally show on.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
WCCO, but it's because and we didn't.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
We don't show everything, and it's a it's a limited
part of the sixty five minute documentary, but they felt
and we did, it was important to show just how
how gruesome is that you.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Don't think it's One of the things is you know,
true crime is everybody just not everybody, but Jenny hates it.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
I think it's interesting. I am just not like a
graphic person, and I don't like murder, so I get it.
It's hard for I.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Get it that some people just don't. But I love
true crime. I watched like The forty eight Hours Mystery
and Joe Kenda and all that stuff, and I watched
I was telling the story about how I was in
the car. I couldn't watch it, so I was driving
through Colorado for an hour and five minutes. I listened
to it like a podcast, and it was super compelling,
even as a podcast. But then at the airport I

(31:44):
had to go back and see whateverbody.

Speaker 11 (31:46):
Looked like, Okay, well, I'm glad to hear that it
works that way too.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
You could listen to it.

Speaker 11 (31:50):
If you don't want to see the graph, you can
listen to it. You have an option.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's called Footprint to Murder and it's fascinating. It's local,
and it's by a local reporter, Jennifer Marrilely from over
Channel four.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Tell Frank and Amelia that I said what.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
I absolutely will and you can find it on the
WCCO YouTube page. We also have a page if you
want to see a timeline of events and some more information.
WCCO dot com slash Footprint to Murder.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Will you be doing more of these? Are there more?

Speaker 5 (32:15):
That?

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Is this kind of a one off kind of a
thing or what?

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Do you never know?

Speaker 11 (32:18):
I hope we do more. We'll keep your posting on
do yes.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Hey, once again, it's called Footprint to Murder and if
you look on the WCCO YouTube page you can find it.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Jennifer, thanks for coming in. We really appreciate it. Thank
you so much.
