Benjamin Atkins was a Detroit serial killer that killed for a ninth month time frame between 1991 and 1992, but racked up a significant amount of victims, unfortunately.
All the victims were found in vacant buildings, and they all had been raped and strangled. Most of them had been murdered in Highland Park; a part of the city notorious for drugs, gang violence and prostitution. Many of the victims were actually working as prostitutes.
