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.

What could be more frightening than the inevitable release of a serial killer?

A former police officer of 30 years, author Rod Sadler draws on his experience and relationships with the key people involved in the investigation, prosecution, and the defense of East Lansing serial killer Don Miller.

Due to pending changes in Michigan law, Miller could be released as soon as next year when he becomes eligible for parole. 

Miller was arrested for the attempted murder of two teenagers in 1978. However, the police quickly realized he was probably responsible for the disappearance of four women.

“Most people had forgotten this,” Sadler said. “When Miller gets released, those teenagers will relive that day and each subsequent year. He could be your neighbor.”
