    The Oakland County Child Murders Part 2
    Apr 20 2024
    Episode 46 The Oakland County Child Murders Part 2

    Our deep dive into the Oakland County Child Murders case continues, and in this episode, we look closely at two prominent suspects who may have been ruled out based on the results of polygraph tests alone. Both of these men had records for unspeakable sex crimes against children. Although they look good on paper, the polygraph tests alone seem to have taken them off the suspect list, but can we find something more solid that could perhaps take them off of the suspect list, or will we find something that makes them worthy of being placed back on it? Once again, we are joined by Geographic Profiler Doug MacGregor in this episode.

    The Oakland County Child Murders Part 1
    Apr 6 2024
    Episode 45 The Oakland County Child Murders Part 1

    For just over a one year period between February 1976 and March 1977, four children were abducted and murdered in Oakland County, Michigan. Although two of the victims were boys, and two were girls, and despite clear evidence of rape and binding on the male victims, police came to believe that one killer, or a set of killers was responsible for each abduction and murder. In each case, the victims were held for extended periods of time, fed, and cleaned. Each was re-dressed prior to being disposed of. Fear struck the residents across that area, and most parents were afraid to let their kids go outside alone. Just as suddenly as the murders started, they came to an end. A task force was put together to hunt down the killer or killers. Along the way, they looked into several suspects and local sex offenders of children. They also fielded many tips including one of them that led police to search almost every AMC Gremlin withing sight along with their drivers. In the end, the case went unsolved and remains so to this day. The good news is, there appears to be clues to work with, and physical evidence that may one day solve this case.

    In part 1 of our investigation into the Oakland County Child Murders, we explore each attack and examine the known clues. We also explore where the victims were abducted from, and where their bodies were dumped, and we are aided by Geographic Profiler Doug MacGregor to see if we can find any clues in the killer's movements.

The crime scenes were nearly identical. Each victim was strangled and violated,then drowned. Other elements of the crime scenes mirrored each other as well,demonstrating a clear signature with each crime.A potential suspect was developed, but for reasons that aren't fully understood, a strong enough case couldn't be made against him and the case remains unsolved.

Season 2...my friend Elisa Gomez

1st I just wanted to thank you for digging into my friend's case and trying to get her and her family some long overdue justice. Elisa was a bright shining light in this all too often dim world...she was taken far too soon and deserves to have justice. You guys are incredibly thorough and went above and beyond on her case and for her family and loved ones. You did a deep dive into what happened, the case as it stands, put it all together and presented it in such a succinct yet detailed and professional manner. You guys are truly the best. I am still very hopeful we will see justice done and her murderer put behind bars for life....lord knows Brad Alexander more than deserves a life sentence for all he has and continues to do. Thanks again guys!!
