Terror in Ypsilanti: John Norman Collins Unmasked
7555 Draper Avenue, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
Between the summers of 1967 and 1969, before the term "serial killer" was coined, a predatory killer stalked several Michigan universities until he made an arrogant mistake. All-American boy John Norman Collins was arrested, tried, and convicted of murder. The other murders attributed to Collins never went to trial, with one exception, and soon became cold cases. Author Gregory A. Fournier tells the stories of the victims, recreates the infamous trial, and details Collins’s time spent in prison.
