Amid the radical politics and cultural upheaval of the late 1960s, a series of brutal murders targeting young women gripped the twin university towns of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. Home to the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, the communities grew increasingly anxious as police seemed unable to stop the killer—or killers—responsible.
Through interviews with law enforcement, political figures, and women who lived through the fear, this independent documentary examines not just a series of crimes, but the social and political tensions that enabled them—many of which still resonate today.
The film takes place almost entirely in the Ann Arbor area and was produced and worked on by Michigan natives.

An independent filmmaker from the Detroit area who has been fascinated by cameras, history, and storytelling since childhood. Reading about the tumultuous events occurring simultaneously in Southeast Michigan in the late 1960s gripped me and I spent 6 years researching and independently producing this documentary: a true passion project, with the goal of telling this largely forgotten true-crime story in an engaging, informative, and respectful way.
