brown arrived at the churches' home some time after 8:30.ere off and there was no car in the garage, so he probably thought no one was home. brown entered the home through a window into one of the empty bedrooms. he most likely wore gloves, but when he had difficulty removing the screen, he took them off and inadvertently left three prints behind. prosecutors believe heather heard the noise and went to investigate. when brown saw her, he realized heather could identify him, so he struck her in the head with a blunt object, killing her instantly. he carried heather's body out through the front door, which he left unlocked, loaded her into his vehicle and drove to the mountains where he dumped her body in a ravine. to avoid the death penalty, brown pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. >> just, i think, just a scary prospect to all of us, that people can do these things and at least for a while get away with it. >> had it not been for an alert fingerprint examiner, brown's print m
