Bloodstained: Exploring Michigan’s Darkest Murders Forgotten By Time by Allie Seibert is a true crime anthology that uncovers five forgotten murder cases in Michigan from 1879 to 1931. Through meticulous research using newspapers, court records, and firsthand documents, Seibert reconstructs these once headline-making crimes that gripped the state but faded into obscurity. The cases, set in Hadley (1879), Flint (1931), Grand Rapids (1916), Kalamazoo (1929), and Alma (1917), explore themes like domestic violence, obsession, and justice—or lack thereof. Notable stories include a 1879 murder confession discovered by chance and the 1931 Flint case of Helen Morgan, who killed her lover in a cemetery. Seibert’s work aims to honor the victims and reveal hidden truths, offering a compelling look at Michigan’s darker historical narratives.
