The Oakland County Child Killer Part 1
3/8/202657 min
The Oakland County child killer was responsible for the murders of at least 4 children in Oakland County, MI, in 1976 and 1977. Technically, we don't know whether it's a single killer or multiple killers. What we do know is that these murders shocked that area of Michigan and forever changed the lives of the people there, not just the families of the victims, but the entire community.
Join Mike and Morf for the first part of a discussion on the Oakland County child killer. The perpetrator selected both male and female victims and dumped their bodies where they would easily be found. It also seems as though the perpetrator kept the victims for some time, and in some cases even washed their clothes and redressed them. The details of this case have grabbed people's attention for fifty years.
