In his fourth true crime book Grim Paradise: The Cold Case Search for the Mackinac Island Killer author Rod Sadler offers an in-depth account of the brutal murder of Frances Lacey on Michigan's Mackinac Island in 1960.
So, why would anyone commit a murder in this paradise on earth?
"Well, it depends on who you ask," Sadler said during the podcast interview.
The city officials think it was somebody who lived on the island; the island folks think it was an insurance job and others think it could have been a young serial killer who moved on in his "criminal career."
Sadler went through a 2,000-page police report and interviewed the islanders who remembered the atmosphere; however, nobody mentioned what happened with the evidence items taken off the victim's body.
Will new DNA technology help identify the Person of Interest in the Mackinac Island cold case?
Embark on a journey with Sadler for a detailed look into the murder of Frances Lacey.
