If you were a vibrant, accomplished college senior who
mysteriously disappeared, would your family trust that the
police would launch a full-scale investigation? On November
1, 2002, Steve, Jan, and Sara Jenkins discovered that their
son and brother, Chris, had not been seen since the previous
night. They also learned that the Minneapolis police would
not initiate a search until seventy-two hours had passed
because Chris was over eighteen years old. With exceptional candor and shocking detail, Chris's mother
Jan wrote Footprints of Courage - the first look inside the
tragic and untold saga of the Chris Jenkins murder
investigation undertaken by the family who loved him.
Chris's parents and sister took extraordinary measures to
force the truth into the light, including securing the
assistance of global leaders in water rescue and recovery,
appearing dozens of times on local and national newscasts
describing how Chris may have died, even analyzing autopsy
and recovery photos for clues - the list of steps they were
forced to take on their own initiative is endless. Chris's disappearance captivated a city, and then a nation,
when the public learned that dozens of young men in the
preceding twelve years had met a similar fate. While pushing
to unravel the mystery of his murder, Chris's courageous
family paved the way for federal involvement in the possible
serial homicides of more than seventy victims. Never leaving one of their own behind may not have been the
easy path; but for Steve, Jan, and Sara, it was the only
path. The Jenkinses passionately hope that Chris's legacy
and their struggle for justice will inspire others to trust
their instincts and stand up for truth.
