The Sneaker, The Tarp, and the DNA That Waited 30 Years

A severed foot in a size seven white canvas sneaker, a canvas tarp weighed with eight landscaping bricks, and a male DNA profile that sat untouched in a police freezer for three decades-how did a single piece of evidence outlive every lead and every suspect? What finally bridged the gap between that freezer and an arrest forty years after the suspect's birth?

In this episode, we tell the story of Amy Armstrong and the sequence of events from her last shift to the discovery at forty-one Mercer Lane, following the investigation kept alive by Detective Frank Solis’s notebooks and the dormant DNA sample that ultimately changed everything. How did a technology that did not exist in 1993 become the key to a thirty-year-old case?

Person: Amy Armstrong
Age: 22 years old
Date: October 6-9, 1993
Location: forty-one Mercer Lane, Harwick, Mettler County
Detective: Frank Solis

- A white canvas sneaker, size seven with a faded pink stripe and lace still tied, contained a human foot found on October 9, 1993.
- The rest of the body was under a canvas tarp weighted by eight landscaping bricks placed at measured intervals.
- The ankle amputation was postmortem and made by a pruning saw with a single clean stroke.
- A male blood DNA profile from the tarp was entered into Harwick Police evidence and remained in the freezer for thirty years.
- Detective Frank Solis opened the case on October 10, 1993, wrote seven notebooks over four years, and retired in 2007.
