Jeannie Singleton's Tragic Murder
June 1, 1955:

Five farm children, playing in a pine copse 15 miles north of Kalamazoo, found
the mutilated body of 8-year- old Jeannie Singleton of Kalamazoo. Jeannie, who
walked with a pronounced limp, had disappeared nine days earlier during her
four-block walk home from school. The search for her, which involved more than
750 people, included a motorcade that attempted to search every road in
Kalamazoo County. Arrests and questioning of suspects continued for more than a
year afterward.

The killer was never found.
