Murder at The Cedar Rapids Mall: The Tragic Story of Michelle Martinko

Jerry Burns Charged with the Murder of Michelle Martinko

Michelle Martinko, a luminous high school senior, fell prey to the brutality of a smooth criminal in 1979. Her bodily charm couldn't shield her from a tragic end, stabbed multiple times at a mall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Decades passed with no justice, until a DNA tech unmasked Jerry Burns as her killer. Finally, the law put an end to his sinister game with a life sentence in 2020.
