Pre-Trial Begins for Man Indicted in 26-Year Cold Case
20 Mar 2008

Barbara Winn died of a gunshot wound 26 years ago. Now, family members and the Ramsey County Sheriff is trying to get the case moving.

Aaron Foster - of St. Paul Police Department & personal friend of SPPD ex-chief Bill Finney - appeared in court Thursday to answer charges that he murdered girlfriend Barbara Winn in 1981… On that day in May 1981, Barbara and Aaron got into a fight at a St. Paul bar. Upon returning home, they argued, and Barbara was shot. Barbara’s children reported seeing Foster flee the town home that night, tossing the gun. Maplewood Police lost the physical evidence in the case. Police believe the evidence was lost when they moved to a new station house. Defense attorney Earl Gray says police intentionally destroyed the evidence, because modern forensics could clear his client… Winn’s children believe she intended to leave Foster the night she was killed. The defense is pushing for other statements to be tossed out before the trial. Foster has been accused of abusing and threatening other wives and girlfriends in the past. The pre-trial will resume Monday.
