Interment of the truth enters year 50.

As we enter the 50th year of letting sleeping dogs lie in the Oakland County child murders, please consider the following.

I believe every agency that still has its fingers in these cases is still busy obstructing.  Why?  Because they will not address the reason these cases were buried.  Why Oakland County decided to protect predators instead of their child victims.

I believe the initial acts of obstruction of justice were committed by the Oakland County Prosector’s Office of L. Brooks Patterson beginning in late January of 1977.  Don’t believe it?  Read Guarded by Jackals:  Predators, the Public Officials Who Protected Them and Resolution of Michigan’s Most Notorious Cold Case (2024) or at least read the book preview at the link provided here:  https://guardedbyjackals.wordpress.com/.   Then let’s talk.  Or, let sleeping polygraph fuckery and evidence destruction lie.

I believe there was at least one act of public corruption involving that office, dating to that time period.  These acts will never be investigated by any current agency in Michigan, state or federal.  Let sleeping campaign donations lie.  See Jackals, Chapter 21, “The Campaign.”

Not following up on the 2009 Georgia polygraph results and impressions concerning suspect John Hastings and actively withholding this information from Det. Cory Williams of the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office was an act of obstruction of justice by the Michigan State Police.  All those many hard-ons over Michigan polygraphs in this case and you get clear evidence of a big, fat problem with Hastings (investigated in 1977 and 1992) from a Georgia polygrapher and ignore it.  Let this failed polygraph lie.

They aren’t telling you the truth about the evidence in this case.  What’s left, what was done with it between 1977 and 2005, what steps have been taken since, why they won’t retest the kids’ clothing and belongings.  Let mishandled, misfiled, poorly stored evidence in the state’s biggest unsolved serial homicide case lie.

If you live in Oakland County and haven’t ever heard of the OCCK case, that is by design.  If you live in Michigan and never heard of the N. Fox Island pedophile and CSAM ring, or the “other side” of “Uncle Frank” Shelden, so much the better.  If you are aware of a fraction of the reporting in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their “clients” and can’t see the parallels in what still goes to protect high level pedophiles in Michigan (as well as their protectors/enablers), let wealthy sex criminals lie.

The story at year 50 is not a rehash of the tragic and heinous details of these crimes, the dark times Oakland County “endured” and quickly put in the rearview mirror; it is a question of why these cases have never been solved, why the state police have always treated these and related cases like a nuisance, and whether there was any collaboration with the office of L. Brooks Patterson to make sure these cases never got any more traction.  Done pushing these cases around the plate and pretending they are still “open”?  Make up some bullshit and go on camera and say so.  Or try telling the truth–the case was fucked in January 1977 and somebody took the law into their own hands, so get over it.  The killings stopped.  Everybody–almost–is a winner.

Since 2018 there have been excellent books, documentaries, podcasts–nothing moves the dial.  “NO COMMENT.”  There’s a reason for this and THAT is the inquiry at the 50 year mark.
