Heather Porter

Episode 67 Heather Porter Heather Porter had a fight with her mother and walked out of her Baltimore County, Maryland house on a Tuesday night in September 1981. She hung out with some friends, but around 11:10 p.m., started the .4 mile walk home. It was a school night, and Heather was just 13. She never made it. Somewhere in that distance of less than a half mile, Heather was abducted. Her body was found the next morning, miles away in Towson, raped and strangled. Police investigated the case thoroughly, but were stumped, and decades passed. Finally, forensic genealogy pointed to a man who lived in the area at the time – and had an extensive history of rape. John Petrecca had no known connections to Heather – but he was the one who raped her and snuffed out her short life.
