Coming soon: The Michigan Nightstalker

from Crime Adjacent

On a quiet lake in Northern Michigan, in the early morning hours of September 26, 2024, a man in a long tan coat and a Halloween clown mask broke into the cabin of a single, vacationing woman named Claire Gasley. First, he bagged up her shoes and socks. Then, he crept to the foot of her bed, slipped his hands under the covers, and … massaged her feet.Michigan is practically a breeding ground for serial killers. The Ypsilanti Ripper. The Sunday Morning Slasher. The Oakland County Child Killer. The North Fox Island pedophile ring—a dark foreshadowing of Epstein’s island.But nothing compares to what happened on Walloon Lake in September 2024.While the locals called him the Walloon Lake Clown Creeper, the man in a clown mask with an incurable foot fetish soon had a different name that shocked the entire state — because it all went from creepy to deadly in the span of days, with murders stretching from Petoskey to Traverse City and beyond.This is the story of the Michigan Nightstalker. And this season of Crime Adjacent explores how a rookie sheriff’s deputy uncovered a deadly conspiracy that turned this vacation wonderland upside down.Imagine what happens if your favorite character from your favorite true crime, mystery thriller leaps off the page and starts a podcast.
