LYNETTE GIBSON KILLER GUILTY IN 1992 SEX SLAYING

NEARLY 20 years after Lynette Nancy Gibson was murdered in Saginaw, Michigan, her killer has been convicted. Rodney Alton Slayton, 45, was found guilty in the grisly 1992 homicide. Gibson's body was found in the parking lot of a bar. A 35-year-old mother of five, her body was barely clothed on that frigid February night. She had been raped and strangled and years later cops linked his semen to Gibson. Slayton later told his ex-wife and her uncle that he strangled Gibson with a seat belt while she was sitting in the passenger seat of his mother’s car.
The case quickly went cold until April 2009 when the case was reopened and with
the use of DNA linked the case to creepy Slayton.

Gibson's sister Dorothy Davis said Lynette now has 14 grandchildren she will never see but the result of the investigation was sweet.
She said:  “It’s been real frustrating, wondering will they ever find somebody. It hurt [seeing crime scene photos] a lot but I wanted to see it so I can move on and get it out of my head. She was a mother, a daughter, a sister, a grandmother. She has 14 grandchildren she will never see.”

DEANIE PETERS VANISHED IN '81; WOULD HAVE BEEN 45

SHE WOULD be approaching middle age now. Perhaps with children, maybe grandchildren. Instead, she is a question mark. Deanie Peters was just 14-years-old when she vanished on Feb. 5, 1981. Friends and family recently remembered the pretty brunette on what would have been her 45th birthday. In her honor, they gathered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and released 45 white balloons. Each of the ballons had her picture on it. Her former boyfriend Rob Mackey was
there. He told the Grand Rapids Press: "There are a lot of loved ones here. We're going to release these balloons in memory of Deanie, with hope and prayers that we'll get to the bottom of it. We'll not forget."
Leaders of a cold case team say they believe a man named Bruce Bunch was responsible for Deanie's disappearance and he buried her after killing her. He died in Kentucky before he could be questioned.
Deanie's body was never found. In February on the 30th anniversary of her disappearance, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in collaboration with the Kent County Metro Cold Case team, has issued an alert that contains a rendering of what Peters, then 14, could look like as a 40-year-old.

MICHIGAN MISER MURDER MYSTERY: A BIZARRE PLOT

BIZARRE. Two scientists cops believe are involved in the 2007 mysterious disappearance of a Michigan mister made it seem as if he had never existed. There was no witnesses, DNA, fingerprints or murder weapons. They were desperate and greedy. All there was left was there only pinheaded stupidity. A week later one of the piss poor crooks tried to use Don Dietz's bank card. Whoops. Rami Saba and Raogo Ouedraogo, two biologists with young families and clean records, were convicted of kidnapping and fraud earlier this year, according to The Detroit News.
Saba, 39, a failed lab researcher at Michigan State University, will be sentenced
Wednesday in federal court in Grand Rapids. Ouedraogo, 41, a lab researcher at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, will be sentenced in November. Both men face up to life in prison.
Dietz, 66, was a retired Amway mailroom worker from and he didn't like to spend money. His boots were patched with duct tape and he only got a haircut twice a year. He owned a '97 Saturn sedan but, to save money, drove his red Schwinn everywhere, even in winter. Residents called him the Bicycle Man.
But he was sitting on a tidy nest egg of $444,000. Saba had just joined Banker's Life as an insurance agent. A cold call led to tragedy. MORE IN THE DETROIT NEWS
