It was early January of 2014 when a number of trash bags appeared on several rural roads throughout St. Clair County, Michigan, around 50 miles northeast of Detroit. Inside the trash bags were the dismembered remains of a man. The first theory upon discovery was that the gruesome murder was somehow connected to drugs. However, a witness soon came forward to say that they had witnessed a woman estimated to be in her 60s hurling the trash bags from her SUV. Nobody – and I mean nobody – could have ever fathomed the outcome.
