Congratulations to Detroit Radio Legend Dick Haefner

Who was inducted into the Michigan Association Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

As concerns the OCCK case, the final paragraph says it well:

“Haefner broke one of the most tragic and long-running mysteries in local history.  He first reported the existence of “The Oakland County Child Killer” the day after Christmas 1976, following the murder of a Royal Oak girl. Haefner said: ‘I could never have imagined we would be doing stories about this 44 years later. The stories haven’t changed that much, except for the duration of time.'”
