"He killed 11 women in eight months. He left them in abandoned buildings, strangled and assaulted. Then he was caught by a survivor who refused to be silent."Benjamin Atkins, also known as the Woodward Corridor Killer, terrorized Detroit between December 1991 and August 1992. He targeted vulnerable women, often sex workers, and lured them into vacant buildings where he raped and strangled them [citation:3][citation:6]. One survivor, Darlene Saunders, identified him after an attack, leading to his arrest [citation:15]. After a 12-hour interrogation, Atkins confessed to 11 murders, claiming his motive was hatred of prostitution [citation:3][citation:10]. He was convicted of 11 counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison [citation:15]. He died from AIDS-related illness in 1997 [citation:3].
