I am sure most who lived thru the late 70's in metro detroit remember the oakland county child killer. What are your memories from this unsolved set of crimes?

Wondering why more was made of Timothy King than all the other kids. Truth be told, the memory is not all bad. It was a time when people were still shocked and outraged by a monster who killed children. Now it seems as though people just accept it as a way of life.

Seems like it is that way with a lot of things. The moral fabric of society is unraveling before our eyes at an alarming rate and people just shrug their shoulders. And it seems that everyone born after 1980 acts as if they were raised by a pack of wolfs. Even the parents today seem like they have no concept of how to be a responsible parent or tech their kids right from wrong. Ah, but in today's Liberal society there is no right or wrong so what should we expect.

I think they actually caught the guy a few years ago.

it is still unsolved. I remember the panic and suspicsion of all cars. I grew up in oak park then moved to southfield off 12 and greenfield, just a mile or so from where jill was taken. as a teen I worked at the berkley theatre and walked past and in the area. Past the bowling alley, dairy queen etc. I took drivers training in downtown birmingham, remembering that area was a crime scene too. It effects the way I watch my kids and I bet it does for all of us who grew up in metro detroit during that time.

I remember being suspicious of people driving blue Gremlins afterward. (I believe every Gremlin owner in Oakland County was questioned by police.)
