Dark and Devious

Episode 72: The Oakland County Child Killer


Listen Later

Between February of 1976 and March of 1977 a terrifying wave of child abductions and murders plagued Oakland County, Michigan, one of the wealthiest counties per capita in the country. The resulting investigation was one of the largest in history, but even with hundreds of officers on the ground and thousands of hours of work there has still never been anyone formally charged with the crimes.

Reuben Appelman, which is available in paperback now.
