When young female college students start turning up brutally murdered around Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, Michigan, fear spreads faster than the investigation. Law enforcement can’t connect the killings. Angry parents turn on the university. A self-proclaimed psychic steps into the spotlight, claiming he can see what police can’t. And while headlines chase hysteria, the real killer moves quietly among them, hiding in plain sight.

This is the story of the Michigan Murders: how a summer of love turned into a season of terror, and how one woman’s death finally gave voice to all the others.

Recorded in Bismarck, ND at the historic Belle Mehus Auditorium.
