Last April, I was interviewed for an Investigative Discovery Channel program on John Norman Collins and the coed killings of 1967-1969 in Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Other people appearing on the program will be Katherine Ramsland, forensic psychologist and syndicated contributor to Psychology Today; former Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas Harvey; and Eastern Michigan University Patrolman Larry Mathewson, credited with breaking open the Karen Sue Beineman case.
In addition to interviews, the program will include re-enactments and scripted elements. It should air sometime this autumn, the date to be arranged.
The production team behind a six part true crime anthology series, “The Bad Old Days” - slated to air on Investigation Discovery in the fall of 2013 - are seeking archival footage and home movies shot in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area in the 1960s.

Investigation Discovery true crime series seeks local footage from the 1960s

The reason? The series, which details real-life murder cases of the 1950s and ‘60s, will in one episode highlight the "Michigan Murders"
(’67-’69), wherein local women were terrorized, and the police rooted
out one of the nation’s first nationally known serial killers, John Norman Collins.
The series’ format combines interviews, scripted scenes and archival footage.
“Our creative team wants to strive for an authentic and intimate look at the time period and of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti,” series associate producer Rebecca Morton said in an email. “We would like to weave this material into the scripted scenes.
Those with archives or footage to share should contact Morton at rmorton@xconproductions.com.

I find this interesting, in that I spent part of an evening with J.N.C on june 7, 1969. I went to a Club and ran into him and we hit on two girls, one of which was Alice Kalom. She left with him on his M/C. I watched them ride off, she looked back and smiled. He had offered me a ride, and bought me 2 beers. I think I came close to being a victim. I went into the Navy very soon after and didn't know about all this till later. If any of my experience could be helpful, contact me 818 763 8133,T. Frisbie.
