Julie Brown, 16, was found dead in Detroit’s Cass Corridor on April 24, 1975. She was one of seven young women killed in a series that ran from February to October 1975 and came to be attributed to a perpetrator called the Bigfoot Killer.

Witnesses described a tall, muscular African-American man, about 30 to 35 years old, with an afro and unusually large hands and feet; investigators considered the possibility he had acromegaly.

On January 27, 1976, 29-year-old Carl Mayweather Jr. was arrested in River Rouge for an attempted rape and initially matched the physical description and shoe size. Subsequent investigation reportedly produced credible alibis for him in at least four of the seven murders, including Julie Brown’s, and he was cleared of involvement.

Julie Brown’s murder remains unsolved. Does anyone have memories or information about the Cass Corridor in 1975 that could shed light on this case?
