Over the Christmas weekend in Detroit, Michigan four women between the ages of 23 and 29 were found dead in car trunks along the east side area.  Two of the victims were burned beyond recognition but all were found to be African American.

Three of the women “have been linked to a website called Packages that advertises adult escort services,” a fact that makes police urge citizens to be careful of what personal information they put out on the Internet for anyone to find.

Two of the victims were cousins, 23-year-old Renisha Landers and 24-year-old Demesha Hunt.  Tragically, with the death of Ms. Hunt, her ten-month-old daughter, Armani, is left behind but will be cared for by Hunt’s mother, Denis Reid.

The other two victims have been estimated to be around the ages of 28 and 29, but police are still awaiting medical examination to know the exact cause of death.  With three of the four victims being connected to the online community mentioned before, police warn others who use websites such as craigslist.com or backpage.com to exercise extreme caution.

It is not yet certain if the perpetrator of these crimes is one single serial killer, but the manner in which the victims have been found point to this as a possibility.  The Detroit police department wants the public to be aware of what is going on in their city, and keep them in the know for their own safety.
