Debbie Ann Friday, 30, was found dead in a vacant building in Highland Park, Michigan, on December 14, 1991. She had been reported missing six days earlier, on December 8. Investigators determined she had been raped and strangled.

Friday is identified as the first known victim in a series of killings later linked to Benjamin Tony Atkins, who targeted women in Detroit and Highland Park, often luring women struggling with addiction or involved in prostitution to abandoned buildings. Atkins was arrested in August 1992 after a rape survivor identified him and, during interrogation, confessed to multiple murders including Friday’s.

Friday’s death was ruled a homicide. Does anyone have memories of Debbie, or information about the vacant building where her body was found?
