It began with a sexual assault in the dead of night in 1998, and ended with a gruesome mid-day murder in 2007. Over the span of a decade, the women of Lansing lived in fear of a violent predator. More than a dozen women were attacked. Seven were murdered. Multiple men were suspected, arrested, and convicted of the crimes during the reign of a corrupt prosecuting attorney. Now, over ten years later, we reexamine this dark chapter in Lansing's history, and ask questions that may never be answered.
