Chris Busch And The Babysitter Killer

Between 1976 and 1977, the Metro Detroit area was gripped with fear due to the Oakland County Child Killer case. At least four children were killed, and local area residents are still trying to get a resolution for these unsolved child murders in Michigan. Also known as the Babysitter Killer, there are many people who believe that Chris Busch was the Oakland County Child Killer. Unfortunately, despite a lot of notable evidence and a large public outcry, the police never got past the initial questioning phase with any of the suspects.

The families of the murdered children have been waiting for one major question to be answered for 40 years: if it wasn't Busch, who was the Oakland County Child Killer, and why hasn't he or she been caught? As

This alone probably wouldn't have been enough to raise suspicions. However, there was an eyewitness who saw one of the victims talking to two men, and he indicated that the resemblance to Gacy was

It's unknown what happened to them or exactly how long they've been missing.

Three other child murders were suspected of being linked to the Oakland County Child Killer. The brutal death of 14-year-old Sheila Srock was eventually blamed on Oliver Rhodes Andrews. However, the remaining two cases are still unsolved. If the Oakland County Child Killer was also responsible for the deaths of James Davison and Cynthia Cadieux, that puts the total body count at six. It would also mean that the killer was first active in 1974 instead of 1976.

Victim Timothy King's father is an attorney, and he repeatedly lobbied for more information about the case until he was finally given thousands of pages from the Oakland County Child Killer task force and FBI files. Mr. King has posted mountains of evidence on his blog, including the fact that suspect Chris Busch's suicide may not have been a self-inflicted death after
