Dangerous Documentaries: Totally Binge-Worthy Shows About Michigan’s Worst Killers
Michigan is well known for its picturesque beauty. But make no mistake, there's also an ugly side.
We've assembled a collection of binge-worthy documentaries - in-depth looks at 15 men and women from Michigan who took other humans' lives.
They Thought They Could Get Away With it
There's a common theme that runs through each of the entries below. All of them (with the possible exception of Uber driver Jason Dalton from Kalamazoo) thought they could get away with murder. Each of them lied, covered up evidence, and attempted to lead authorities to the wrong conclusion - but in time and after a lot of killer detective work (no pun intended), each of them was found out, tried, and convicted.
Michigan Killers Come in All Shapes and Sizes
If you assume that all of these Michigan Murderers are men, you're dead wrong. Our list contains a few surprises, including three women. One of the women is from Flint and her case (recently documented by ABC's '20/20') is dubbed the first internet murder because it was plotted in an online chat room in 1999.
Cases of two former police officers are featured, including one from the Saginaw area. There's also a retired cop's wife on the list, convicted of executing her husband with his service revolver.
