Over the past year, Michigan police say the violent deaths of five white men along a popular river trail appear to be connected. Lansing’s police chief acknowledged that the city may have a serial killer on its hands and have asked for help from the community, setting up a tip line. Four of the victims were brutally beaten in the head, suffering facial injuries, all eventually dying from their injuries in the hospital. One of the men was stabbed to death, and police have made an arrest in that case, but aren’t sure if the person they have in custody is actually the person responsible for this series of brutal murders.
