Two women were found buried in the backyard of a secluded house in Loch Erin, Michigan, after a tip led authorities to the property in May 1975. One victim was 23-year-old Deborah Heneman of Toledo, Ohio; the other was 25-year-old Lee Fletcher. Both had last been seen in March 1974 after reportedly arranging to meet someone in the parking lot of a Toledo restaurant and were never seen alive again.

Their remains were unearthed after the house’s former occupant, Gary Addison Taylor, was arrested in Houston on sexual assault charges and an estranged wife told authorities he had confessed to murdering and burying people in Michigan. The two women were found wrapped in plastic bags, bound with rope and electrical cords, and buried in shallow graves just outside a bedroom window.

Taylor, born in Michigan in 1936, had a long history of violence against women dating back to his teens and had been institutionalized multiple times; he confessed to four murders including Heneman’s and later was prosecuted in Washington. Does anyone have memories or information about Deborah Heneman, where she spent time in Toledo, or who she might have been meeting in March 1974?
