...lived with his divorced mother in Ferndale, was found in a parking lot on Feb. 19,1976, some 17 days after he had disappeared. The body of Jill Robinson, 12, was discovered Dec. 16 beside a freeway, four days after she was reported missing from her home in Royal Oak. Kristine Mihelich, a brown-haired, blue-eyed ten-year-old from nearby Berkley, vanished on Jan. 2. Her body turned up 18 days later in a roadside snowbank. These victims may all have been sexually molested-the Stebbins boy was. Each body was found fully clothed; two were dead from...

Margaret apparently had a grand time, though, and only Stones Guitarist Keith Richard seemed to feel a little the worse for wear. But then, Richard had reason. Only a week before, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police found 22 grams of heroin in his hotel room and charged Richard with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
