February 15, 1976—which was fifty [50] years ago from this blog topic’s publishing date—also fell on a Sunday.
It turned out to the beginning of a serial killer running loose in Oakland County, Michigan, targeting prepubescent children, in a case which is commonly known as The Oakland County Child Killer. (This case will hereafter will be abbreviated as the OCCK.)
I wrote about and posted the topic here: Remembering the Children.
It was on this blog’s date, fifty [50] years ago, the OCCK abducted and, four days later, murdered the first known victim.
His name was Mark Stebbins. He lived in Ferndale, Michigan, a city in Oakland County, along M–1 which is known as Woodward Avenue. The Woodward Avenue Corridor.
The embedded video, although some details are not 100-percent accurate, examines this period. It is two hours. Last month, I wrote of three Detroit-area teenaged girls murdered within the first twenty [20] days of 1976. So, this was a disturbing and dangerous period in the history of at least Greater Metro Detroit. This certainly had impact on how parents raised, and allowed freedom for, their children.
The OCCK is “unsolved.”
