Ebook About
Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love—by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body—stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm—was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students.   After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy—a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn’t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the “Ypsilanti Ripper,” was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.   Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town.  

Book The Michigan Murders: The True Story of the Ypsilanti Ripper's Reign of Terror Review :



It's been almost 50 years since the Ann Arbor - Ypsilanti area of Southeastern Michigan was rocked by a series of murders, most of them coeds from Eastern Michigan University (Ypsilanti) and the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). The seven victims, ranging in age from thirteen to twenty-three, were abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered by a killer who used the same m.o. and similar dump sites, although the police were slow to connect the similarities. The killer's primary hunting ground was Michigan's Washtenaw County, although one victim was murdered in California.Edward Keyes, now deceased, spent several years in the early 1970s investigating these murders, and this book won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime in 1977. It is a horrific read. I was an undergraduate at the University of Michigan (1966 - 1969) during the killer's rampage (July 9, 1967 - July 23, 1969), and this was back before the concept of "serial killer" was popularized by former FBI Special agent Robert Ressler in 1974. The six separate police agencies that were working on the murders did not begin to coordinate their efforts, or even see a pattern to the killings until after the discovery of the third victim.In "The Michigan Murders," the author states that: "Identifications of ...the victims, their families and friends; of bystanders, witnesses, suspects; even of the one finally accused and tried...have been disguised." This made his book a bit confusing for me to read, since I knew the actual names of the victims and the killer from the original press coverage of the murders. Recently, the Investigation Discovery Channel broadcast an episode--'A New Kind of Monster' (first aired December 10, 2013)--about these murders that also used the victims' real names. They are:Mary Terese Fleszar (19) - EMU accounting student went missing on July 9, 1967Joan Elspeth Schell (20) - EMU art student went missing on June 30, 1968Maralynn Skelton (16) - Romulus High School student went missing on March 24, 1969Dawn Louise Basom (13) - Ypsilanti school student went missing on April 16, 1969Alice Elizabeth Kalom (23) - U of M grad student went missing on June 7, 1969Roxie Ann Phillips (17) - Salinas, California went missing on June 30, 1969Karen Sue Beineman (18) - EMU student went missing on July 23, 1969The killer, John Norman Collins was also a student at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where, according to the author, he met many of his victims. This book delves into the lives of Collins' victims (under those pesky assumed names) and also into their grisly deaths. The police, most especially Washtenaw County Sheriff Harvey do not always come out looking efficient and well-coordinated, although the author bends over backward to be fair. The reader is allowed to judge for himself or herself, after hearing the stories of the 'store mannequin' or Harvey's attempted suborning of witnesses."The Michigan Murders" takes the reader through the murders, the imprisonment of the killer and his trial. There is even a chapter devoted to Peter Hurkos, the Dutch housepainter, who allegedly manifested psychic powers after recovering from a head injury and coma caused by a fall from a ladder. Two very grumpy policemen were detailed to transport him to various sites connected to the murders. Although Hurkos showed flashes of insight, nothing came of his insertion into the case.This serial killer is still alive and is incarcerated in the Marquette Branch Prison in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, while his victims have mouldered in their graves for almost half a century. I, who lived and went to school among them will never forget them or the evil that was done to them.
This book was an excellent true crime book. I remember the murders at the time because I lived in Wisconsin and was just a little younger than the victims. It was a real page turner, hard to put down. However, there were three things I disliked about the book:- The author decided it was necessary to change almost all the the names in the book, including the victims. I agree with many other reviewers that this was completely unnecessary, stupid even.- There were absolutely no pictures. A true crime book can't get 5 stars from me if there are no pictures. Since the author changed most of the names, no pictures. He still could have provided pictures of buildings, locations, houses, police officers, etc.- The hair analysis included in the testimony during the trial was completely understandable and boring. That was the only place that the book truly bogged down. I would try to finish the book with only a few pages left, but put it down over boredom and frustration. That was the second book in a row I read that bogged down in the forensic testimony of the trial, the last being Jody Picoult's fictional Plain Truth.I planned to give this book 5 stars the entire time I was reading it, but those three factors, especially the last, gave it a downgrade. Every time a new person of interest was brought in, I wondered if he would be the killer. False alibis eliminated some people. It is a very well-written, even exciting book except for those three complaints.
