Listener discretion is advised. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 395 of the criminology podcast. I'm Mike Ferguson.

And this is Mike Morford.

Mr. Morford, how you doing today, buddy?

I'm doing pretty good. How you doing?

I'm doing good. I mean, we did get quite a bit of snow, I think almost 16 inches. But I know a lot of parts of the country got it that aren't used to snow. We're used to it, but 16's a little more than we're used to for sure. So we're still digging out. Yeah, I don't miss that. But, you know, I think Northern up in Tampa got a little bit of snow,

some flurries and stuff, and that's unusual for down here. I like to look at it. I miss

that part of it, but I definitely don't miss shoveling it or cleaning it up. Yeah, yeah,

it's, uh, it's caused quite a mess for sure. Let's go ahead and give our Patreon shoutouts.

We had Grayson Evans, Katie and Justin Ware.

So a lot of great new support.

We really appreciate it.

Yeah, that's really awesome.

We can't thank you enough for anyone else that would like to head over to patreon.com

slash criminology and you can get started.

All right.

Let's go ahead and dive into this week's case or should I say cases, because this week we're talking about some shocking crimes that took place within one specific area, Livingston County, Michigan.

For years, investigators wondered if these crimes were connected and if there was some sort of deranged serial killer on the loose there.

Understandably, these crimes led residents there to be uneasy, wondering if their friend,

neighbor, coworker, or, you know, someone right next to them in a store might be responsible.

Consisting of almost 600 square miles, Livingston County is located in the southeastern part of the state.

In 1980, the population of that county was around 100,000 people. Today, it's nearly doubled to just under 200,000.
