F2632 The Cold Case Search for the Mackinac Island Killer

Class | Registration opens Monday, September 14, 2026 10:00 AM EDT

On July 24, 1960, the quaint charm and serenity of Mackinac Island, nestled between Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas, was shattered by Frances Lacey’s murder. Despite a massive manhunt and thousands of pages of police reports, her killer was never caught. True crime author Rod Sadler (Killing Women) delves into the secrets of one of Michigan’s most perplexing murder cases. Offering an in-depth and suspenseful account of the long-standing mystery, he poses the question: Could advanced DNA technology lead to the identity of the Mackinac Island murderer as it did recently in the case of the Golden State Killer?
