Anna Lawson, 63, was found murdered at her home on East Sherman Boulevard in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, on October 14, 2014. A friend who went to the house discovered the door ajar and signs of a violent struggle inside, including overturned furniture and bloodstains; police arrived to find Lawson deceased. The Michigan State Police assisted the Muskegon Heights Police Department in treating the death as a homicide.

On the same day, the body of 62-year-old Judy Bushman was discovered a few blocks away, prompting investigators to consider a connection between the two killings. Authorities identified 61-year-old Leon Means as a person of interest; he was arrested and confessed to the murders of Lawson and Bushman and to two earlier homicides from 1989. Means was charged with four counts of open murder and later entered a no-contest plea in June 2015 to Lawson’s and Bushman’s murders. Family members addressed him at sentencing, and he received two terms of life without parole for those killings.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood in 2014 or information that could shed light on the events that led to these two killings?
