Lee Fletcher, 25, was one of two women whose remains were found buried in the backyard of a residence in Onsted, Michigan. Her body and that of 23-year-old Deborah Heneman were discovered wrapped in plastic bags and bound with rope and electrical cords after the two had reportedly met someone in the parking lot of a Toledo restaurant in March 1974 and were not seen alive again. Their disappearance remained unresolved until the graves were unearthed in May 1975 following a confession from the suspect.

The person who confessed was Gary Addison Taylor, born in 1936, who had a documented history of violent offenses and prior confinement in psychiatric institutions for compulsive and violent behavior, including assaults with a hammer and shootings. After his release under Michigan law, Taylor buried Fletcher and Heneman in his backyard, then left the state and later committed additional killings in other states. He was arrested in Houston on sexual assault charges, confessed to four murders including Fletcher’s, and received a life sentence in Washington in April 1976. Authorities in several states suspect him in up to 20 unsolved homicides.

If anyone knew Lee Fletcher, Deborah Heneman, or their movements in March 1974, please share information that might clarify what happened that night.
