In today’s case we are going to discuss a strong woman from Newaygo county MI. She had a very difficult childhood which led her down a dangerous road. However, when she got pregnant at 17 she chose to start making the right choices in her life. Months after the birth of her daughter she was brutally raped. When she went to police to report this story it resulted in a good investigation and the arrest of her attacker. But the trial would never happen because of the mayhem that would ensue after the charges were followed. Newaygo County went from a rape investigation to being on the hunt for a serial killer.
