About this listen

 We’ve all heard the phrase ‘that kind of thing doesn’t happen in our town’, but here on Midwest Murder, we will shatter that false reality. In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific crimes that happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.© 2025 Midwest Murder Politics & Government Social Sciences True Crime

    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.
