The Oakland County Child Murders Part 2
Episode 46 The Oakland County Child Murders Part 2
Our deep dive into the Oakland County Child Murders case continues, and in this episode, we look closely at two prominent suspects who may have been ruled out based on the results of polygraph tests alone. Both of these men had records for unspeakable sex crimes against children. Although they look good on paper, the polygraph tests alone seem to have taken them off the suspect list, but can we find something more solid that could perhaps take them off of the suspect list, or will we find something that makes them worthy of being placed back on it? Once again, we are joined by Geographic Profiler Doug MacGregor in this episode.

The Oakland County Child Murders Part 1
Episode 45 The Oakland County Child Murders Part 1
For just over a one year period between February 1976 and March 1977, four children were abducted and murdered in Oakland County, Michigan. Although two of the victims were boys, and two were girls, and despite clear evidence of rape and binding on the male victims, police came to believe that one killer, or a set of killers was responsible for each abduction and murder. In each case, the victims were held for extended periods of time, fed, and cleaned. Each was re-dressed prior to being disposed of. Fear struck the residents across that area, and most parents were afraid to let their kids go outside alone. Just as suddenly as the murders started, they came to an end. A task force was put together to hunt down the killer or killers. Along the way, they looked into several suspects and local sex offenders of children. They also fielded many tips including one of them that led police to search almost every AMC Gremlin withing sight along with their drivers. In the end, the case went unsolved and remains so to this day. The good news is, there appears to be clues to work with, and physical evidence that may one day solve this case.
In part 1 of our investigation into the Oakland County Child Murders, we explore each attack and examine the known clues. We also explore where the victims were abducted from, and where their bodies were dumped, and we are aided by Geographic Profiler Doug MacGregor to see if we can find any clues in the killer's movements.

Customer Reviews
Love the podcast…
I LOVE this podcast! It’s my new fave. I was hooked after the Dermond episode.
I saw a review that mentioned looking up the term “scrum” on urban dictionary….I looked it up and suggest that you do the same! Hahaha!
keep up the great work!
Great concept
The idea of this show is excellent. I appreciate the comprehensive approach of having so many experts to address the case, and having the victim’s closest kin speaking as well. I have listened to every episode. I truly hope that this leads to these cold cases being solved. The exceution of this excellent idea is why I gave 2 stars instead of 5. Dr. Lee is the weirdest guy. He says strange things, and because they are not all physically together, there is awkward silence after every one of his bizarre remarks. Dr. Lee is simply terrible at interviewing the victim’s family members. Morf is an excellent interviewer, and I wish he would do all the interaction with the victim’s relatives or friends. Cloud seems to think he needs to educate the prosecutor on how to do her job, and seems to think the legal side of the case is as easy as waving his hand. I would give this more stars if someone besides Dr. Lee were the “master of ceremonies,” and if this podcast were any better to listen to. I firmly believe this is an excellent concept and I hope they solve lots of cases, but I find this absolutely un-listen-able.
Love the idea and flow, DNA lady stinks
Great show. Love morf Alex and lee, but the DNA woman they have on is so annoying and pretentious. Constantly bragging about how she does great work and most experts don’t. Gives off attention seeking desperate vibes
