Battle Creek Murders: Part 1
09/04/23 • 47 min
In the early 1980's, the region surrounding Battle Creek, Michigan, saw three homicides of young women in less than one year. The victims were between 17 and 20 years old and were all violently murdered. However, the cases would eventually turn cold, leaving the town in fear that at least one, if not more, killers were out there. Would they claim more victims?
In part one, we'll dive deep into the first killing- 20-year-old Maggie Hume. A difficult-to-find crime scene for police, ended up being right under their noses. It left many perplexing clues and enough leads for detectives to follow.
The investigation into Maggie's case will continue in Part 2, along with the murders of Patricia Rosansky and Karri Evans. Plus, we'll tell you about the arrests and even a conviction that came out of the investigation even though these three murders are still considered unsolved.
