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

Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free loveâ€”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 bodyâ€”stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearmâ€”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.
Â
After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boyâ€”a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasnâ€™t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the â€œYpsilanti Ripper,â€ was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
Â
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.
