Andrea Lynn Coxton was 23 when she was killed in Detroit’s Cass Corridor on July 13, 1975. Her death was one of several in a string of attacks attributed to a perpetrator the press and police dubbed the Bigfoot Killer. Victims were reportedly approached with offers of money, then subjected to violence and strangulation; witnesses described the suspect as a tall, muscular African-American man with an afro, distinctive facial hair, large hands and feet, and a beige Oldsmobile.

Community activists criticized the police response, arguing the neighborhood’s women were insufficiently protected and that authorities failed to share information about the killer. In January 1976 police arrested 29-year-old Carl Mayweather Jr., who fit the description and had a history of violence against women, but investigators later verified alibis for him in at least four of the slayings and cleared him as a suspect.

Andrea’s murder remains unsolved and the Bigfoot Killer was never apprehended. Did anyone in the Cass Corridor at the time remember suspicious activity, the beige Oldsmobile, or other details that might still help this case?
