Sloan’s Secret Confessions in Cold Case | Detroit News

A chilling cold case from the 1970s takes a haunting turn as Arch Edward Sloan, already serving time for rape and with a decades-long sex crime history, dies at 84—just as new whispers emerge from his prison cell. Inmates say he was called “The Oakland County Child Killer” and hinted at involvement in the unsolved murders, even showing a picture of a Bonneville car and talking about burying one up north. His final meeting with detectives yielded cryptic info, no confession. Whateley, now free, insists Sloan’s obsession with “Dance Moms” and references to buried cars are too telling to ignore. Though DNA didn’t match hairs found in his car, authorities are pushing forward with new tech to solve this decades-old tragedy—and Whateley hopes justice finally arrives for the families still waiting.
