“”The irony is, if we didn’t go out and dig up the Gremlin, we’d be remiss,’ said Det. First Lt. Denise Powell, commander of the task force of law enforcement officials investigating the [OCCK] murders.” Oh, Lt. Powell, if you only knew how remiss your agency has been. You are now stuck as the mouthpiece, following in the footsteps of men who really cared not if this thing got solved or not. Promotion and retirement were the goals. Are you a parent? If you are, I will knock on wood for you. You have a lot in front of you.
Here you go, Denise: “The problem is, when everyone’s focus is on a vehicle, we limit ourselves.” Ya think, Denise??! Maybe you should talk to Dave Robertson, Jr., of the MSP, who was assigned to the “task force,” along with then soon-to-be-retired MSP Lt. Garry Gary, to babysit and squelch this case once Livonia Det./Sgt. Cory Williams did all the fucking hard work on this case to revive it. You are the most recent to receive the baton—congratulations. Harold Love and all of the other predecessors to this case are your mentors. Good luck with that. I imagine they are much closer to retirement than you are. And that, like a lot of men, they can live with that weird shit in their conscience that makes most females want to dig a hole and die. Whatever. Maybe that’s why you called my brother, and Kristine Mihelich’s sister, Erica, to tell them the MSP was looking into this Gremlin “lead,” right before the media broke the story. Grow a spine, for a god’s sake. I realize it’s easier to speak with someone closer to your age, but the PARENTS OF THESE MURDERED CHILDREN, Barry King, Debbie Jarvis, Tom McAvoy, the parents of Jill Robinson, as well as the only surviving relative of Mark Stebbins, his brother Mike Stebbins, deserve a phone call from you. I know it sucks. But that’s what happens when an agency doesn’t solve a case, and gets passed on from person to person. All you have to do before such a call is put yourself in another person’s place. What would you expect? It isn’t that hard. And, believe it or not, the family members will appreciate your effort. Especially in light of what has happened over the past almost-four decades. If we asked questions that you can’t answer for whatever reason, just say so. We aren’t that pathetic or dumb. Jesus, is it so hard?!
Oh yeah, you dogs. I can’t post to FB. I know what your deal is. I have nothing to hide. I will just keep trying. You can keep looking at my email and my posts. There isn’t shit there.
I so understand your response, Catherine. It seems law enforcement investigators always call the family members of least resistance and the most likely to not ask questions. Pathetic to say the least. Don’t give up on them. They need to keep getting this case thrown at them if that’s all that can be done at this point.

Do they actually think that they are headed in the right direction? Someone knows something and they keep taking the opposite journey. There is more than enough evidence in this. Why not just go all out and correctly figure this thing out. The only thing I can figure is that there is/was knowledge of the truth by a public figure. Even if just a minimal connection. Even if, and someone did, do something wrong along the way. Sickening! So sorry Catherine!
By the way, somehow my password wasn’t being accepted when I tried to post this initially. 🙁
Thank you Cathy.

” It seems law enforcement investigators always call the family members of least resistance and the most likely to not ask questions.”
This why they never call me!
I think everyone in their profession needs a dressing down once in a while. Keeps reminding them that there are people who will changle and question their authority; which comes from you and I.
More individuals have to open their mouths and start shouting.
If they don’t things will not get better.
I will stop shouting……. you guess the rest!

PS.
As much authority as they think they have can be taken away in a heart beat.
Amen
Let me give some insite on this area since i lived in grand blanc, swartz creel and surrounding areas for almost 10yrs.
I have worked in this neighborhood on a regular occasion. This grand blanc area was part of my work route and i did get a weird feeling out there at times. Now this is the most undeveloped area of grand blanc but it is now being built up with his end homes. Big subdivisons on or around gulf courses and close to where the buick open is played at warwick hills. This is near genysis hospital and very close to dixie hwy and also i75. It would be the route chris busch and his flint buddy would have traveled alot. It would have been very rural back in the 70’s considering it is just now over the past 15 yrs seen building. This is the line of the end of oakland county and the bigging of genesee county. As a fact theres a subdivison that has a now entering oakland county sign in the middle of the sub. I still dont think a blue gremblin was involved in these cases but if it was and was hidden by busch or someone he knew, this area would make sense as a place to hide a car. It would also be a good place to hide and do bad things without notice. They need to look into who owned and lived in that area during the late 70’s there might just be a interesting name linked to the pedifile ring who lived out there. Just a hunch..
Interesting Mike, I don’t think the Gremlin was involved. After following Cathy”s blog, my theory has changed . But still would like to hear what comes of this. At this point I don’t think I could believe much. All the disrespect these families have been thru, blows my mind. Pray every night for all.
