Summary

On February 24, 1986, John Ruetten came home from work to find his newlywed wife on their living room floor, dead from 3 bullet wounds to the chest. Investigators concluded it was a burglary gone wrong, but the case went unsolved for decades. 23 years later, DNA testing that hadn't been available before was conducted and who the new evidence pointed to was shocking. In Part 1, you'll hear the details of the crime, how the investigation progressed over the years, and audio from a very interesting interrogation. Check out the full unedited interrogation - https://youtu.be/JT21CI4GRUM Please consider supporting Court Junkie with as little as $3 a month via Patreon.com/CourtJunkie.
