In the winter of 1992 Detroit experienced a string of violent attacks on vulnerable women along the Woodward Corridor. One of those victims was 39-year-old Vickie Truelove, whose body was found on January 25, 1992. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled.

Investigators later connected Truelove’s killing to a series of similar murders. A suspect, Benjamin Atkins, was arrested in August 1992 on rape charges after identification by a previous victim. While in custody he confessed to the killings of eleven women, including Vickie Truelove, and was tried and convicted. In April 1994 he received multiple life sentences.

Does anyone have memories of the Woodward Corridor in early 1992 or information about Vickie Truelove that could add context to her life and death?
