On November 29, 1998, five members of the Privacky family were found shot to death in their Muskegon, Michigan, home. Victims were Linda Privacky, 49; her husband Stephen Privacky, 50; his father John Privacky, 78; their son Jedidiah Privacky, 19; and Jedidiah’s girlfriend, 19-year-old April Boss. The scene was described as a family massacre that devastated the neighborhood.

Investigators say the killings were carried out by Linda’s younger son, 18-year-old Seth Privacky, who confessed to methodically shooting each family member and told authorities he felt the family had been ganging up on him. After the shootings, Seth contacted his friend, 18-year-old Steven Wallace. The two tried to stage the scene as a robbery, moved the bodies, and Wallace later disposed of a .22-caliber Ruger that belonged to Seth’s father by throwing it into a pond. Both young men were arrested and charged with five counts of open murder. The prosecutor described them as extremely dangerous.

If anyone knew the Privacky family or has information about that day in Muskegon, please come forward.
