Why are there no quotes from the MSP, the agency allegedly in charge of this cold case investigation? Were they asked for an update and refused comment? If so, what was a refusal based on? Doesn’t this strike you as odd?
Why no quotes from the current prosecutor, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald? Richard Thompson, chief deputy of that office in 1976/78 is still alive, what does he recall? Has the office of Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard worked the case at all?
What has been done substantively in the case since the tired old quotes rehashed from 2012?
Who should people contact with tips or information?
And the factual errors–can’t we get past this? You might argue that these details are no big deal, but they reflect on the work product.
–Mark was at the American Legion Hall with his mother and his brother when he spoke to his mom and asked to walk home so he could watch a t.v. show. He did not call her from the Hall.
–Statements about Jill being seen at the hobby shop and the Donut Depot are completely unsubstantiated. And the characterization of the disagreement between Jill and her mom–really??
–Kristine left from home after doing her chores and speaking with her mother, not from the bowling alley, to go to the 7-11.
–My mom’s name is spelled Marion. Not sure any witness saw Tim with his football and skateboard with him when he left the house for Hunter-Maple.
–My parents called the police at 9:15 pm, not 9:15 the next morning. Birmingham cop showed up that evening to take a report.
–“For decades victims’ family members believed Christopher Busch was the Oakland County Child Killer.” Despite a wealth of evidence implicating Busch in participation in these crimes, we did not learn his name nor were we ever asked about him until November 2007.
If that’s everything you know about the Oakland County Child Killer case, you didn’t do your background work.
