Re: The Babysitter Killer, Infamous Oakland Child Killer Never Caught
[quote=tbgo;2705006]I searched to see if there was already a thread on this, but turned up no results. This is in reference to the Oakland County Child Killer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland...y_Child_Killer Is anyone knowledgeable about this story? His story was on tv recently. I don't remember which show, but, most likely, "Cold Case Files", which are in rerun so it was probably a few years back. I had never heard of him before then. Sadly, the sketch did look like one of the boys. His parents agreed. |

Re: The Babysitter Killer, Infamous Oakland Child Killer Never Caught
This seems to be another one of those cases where people suspect that the people in charge were connected/influenced by this sickos connections. I wonder if any of them know the real deal. One of the parents had to fight for the files on their child who was one of the victims. The stuff that they found was bone-chilling, stuff they were never told. One of those items was the sketch. How would you like seeing that unprepared, and it looks like your kid? |

Re: The Babysitter Killer, Infamous Oakland Child Killer Never Caught
One of the victims... Timothy King, 11, borrowed 30 cents from his older sister and left his home in Birmingham, skateboard in hand, to buy candy at a drugstore on nearby Maple Road on Wednesday, March 16, 1977, at about 8:30 p.m. He left the store by the rear entrance, which opened to a parking lot shared with a supermarket, and vanished.[2] An intensive search was executed that covered the entire Detroit metropolitan area, and there was widespread media coverage, already heavy with coverage of the previous three slayings. In an emotional television appeal, Timothy's father, Barry King, begged the abductor to release his son unharmed. In a letter printed in the Detroit News, Marion King (victim's mother) wrote that she hoped Timothy could come home soon so she could serve him his favorite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken. In the late evening hours of March 22, 1977, two teenagers in a car spotted his body in a shallow ditch alongside Gill Road, about 300 feet south of Eight Mile Road in Livonia, just across the county line in Wayne County. His skateboard was placed next to his body. His clothing had been neatly pressed and washed. He had been suffocated and sexually assaulted with an object. The postmortem showed that Timothy had eaten fried chicken before he was slain. |
