Here in MI as well, sure hope that story is an urban legend...
Omg NO , none of that is urban legend. I live here now. But the child serial killer was in the 70s so I did have the wrong decade..

The Kill Jar tells the gripping story of J. Reuben Appelman’s ten-year investigation into buried leads, apparent police cover-ups of evidence, con-men, child pornography rings, and high-level corruption saturating Detroit’s most notorious serial killer case.

And you know what really pissed me off? I moved to WA state, then back home, but in adulthood I kept checking to see if they found The Babysitter, as the Oakland county child killer was called.
EVERY press report and police announcement claimed these kids were found with zero evidence, completely bathed they said, probably with chlorhexidine. over and over again. This was why they called him The Babysitter.
So I am reading the book, The Kill Jar, and the author got the autopsy reports on the kids. The boys were found with their underwear stained with semen and blood, a few hairs.
All those years they lied about this. I was furious.
So I love this state but the task force lied to the public.
And the author of The Kill Jar? Cops began following and watching him as he dug up evidence for his book.
Corruption is real. Evil is real.
