Patricia Cannon George was 36 when she disappeared in December 1991; she is identified as the first victim linked to what became known as the Woodward Corridor Killer. Her body was found on January 3, 1992, by workers demolishing an abandoned house in Detroit.

Investigators later tied her death to a series of killings in the area. Benjamin Atkins confessed during interrogation to murdering eleven women and described targeting women who were engaged in prostitution, luring them to secluded or abandoned locations with offers of drugs and money for sex. Atkins was convicted in the case and received multiple life terms.

The circumstances of Patricia’s disappearance and the location where her body was recovered remain central to the investigation into the corridor killings. If anyone knew Patricia, saw her in Detroit in late 1991, or has information about activity around abandoned properties along the Woodward corridor at that time, please come forward.
