Cassandra Evans, a 35-year-old Black woman from Detroit, disappeared from daily life after last being seen at home on Woodingham Street on October 10, 2010. Family members grew alarmed when she did not make her expected daily call, prompting searches of the house. Initial searches yielded nothing obvious; a later search with a dog produced a grim discovery. Evans’ body was found concealed in the attic beneath garbage bags, and identification moved through the medical examiner’s office.

Police questioned a close family member and focused attention on Evans’ 44-year-old brother, who was described as being in custody on unrelated charges while detectives treated him as central to events at the home. Officers also revisited a nearby house fire where a relative had been found dead to see if the scenes were connected. Prosecutors later filed a first-degree murder charge naming James Evans and tied the killing to October 10, 2010, with a preliminary examination set for October 26, 2011.

Did anyone in Detroit at the time have information about Cassandra’s last known movements or about activity at the Woodingham address on October 10, 2010?
