Lawsuit filed over Oakland County child killer case
DETROIT (AP) -- The mother of one of four children killed during a 13-month period in the 1970s wants the Justice Department to investigate the unsolved Oakland County child killer case.
A lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Detroit by Deborah Jarvis seeking $100 million in damages claims the Oakland County prosecutor, sheriff department and state police withheld information about the case. Her 10-year-old daughter Kristine Mihelich of Berkley was among those slain.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard tells the Detroit Free Press the Justice Department has been involved in the investigation for years. Prosecutor Jessica Cooper dismissed the claims as groundless.
The Detroit News reports state police won't comment on pending litigation.
Other children killed between February 1976 and March 1977 were 11-year-old Timothy King and 12-year-olds Mark Stebbins and Jill Robinson.
