On the morning of September 21, 1979, Malak Mimi Haddad, 34, was found murdered on the front lawn of her Allen Park, Michigan, home by her three children as they left for school. Her body was fully clothed, there were no signs of struggle or sexual assault, and the autopsy concluded her head had been severed with a single, clean blow from a sharp bladed weapon. The head was missing from the scene and has never been recovered. Jewelry was found nearby, suggesting robbery was unlikely and raising the possibility she was killed elsewhere and placed on the lawn.

Mimi Haddad had immigrated from Jordan in 1967, became a U.S. citizen in 1972, worked as a hairdresser, and was divorced from Khalaf Haddad in 1978. Khalaf was interviewed and had a night-shift alibi; a man who accompanied Mimi the previous evening for a movie, tavern and disco was questioned but not treated as a suspect. A postcard sent to police a few days after the murder referenced the missing head, but investigators released few details about it. Investigators later explored a possible link to serial killer Carl Eugene Watts, but found no conclusive connection. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Mimi’s movements on September 20–21, 1979, or recall the man who spent the evening with her before her death?
