Vacant Detroit becomes dumping ground for the dead

[Fillerguy]

DETROIT (AP) — From the street, the two decomposing bodies were nearly invisible, concealed in an overgrown lot alongside worn-out car tires and a moldy sofa. The teenagers had been shot, stripped to their underwear and left on a deserted block.

They were just the latest victims of foul play whose remains went undiscovered for days after being hidden deep inside Detroit's vast urban wilderness — a crumbling wasteland rarely visited by outsiders and infrequently patrolled by police.

Abandoned and neglected parts of the city are quickly becoming dumping grounds for the dead — at least a dozen bodies in 12 months' time. And authorities acknowledge there's little they can do.

"You can shoot a person, dump a body and it may just go unsolved" because of the time it may take for the corpse to be found, officer John Garner said.

The bodies have been purposely hidden or discarded in alleys, fields, vacant houses, abandoned garages and even a canal. Seven of the victims are believed to have been slain outside Detroit and then dumped within the city.

They dont care bout solving those... brothers committing genocide. They already started plotting on the CAC re-invasion of Detroit. When they gentrify and rebuild that city I won't even be mad cuz nikkaz was in charge and did nothing but tear shyt down

This is true and all but he really shouldn't have released that to the press.


They need to bulldoze the Mid West and South and turn it into farm land and National Parks.

Exactly, wtf are they thinking? I guess they enjoy finding old corpses and not solving murders.

Detroit is a grimy ass city especially when it comes to murders. Still got love for the city tho. Gentrification of the city will be coming soon. Can already see it happening downtown.
