by Jon H. Ringelberg (Author)

Clare County Murders, 1871 - 2020, presents 67 suspected and actual murders during the 150-year history of Clare County. Four additional murders are presented because of their individual uniqueness - a murdered dog, a murdered and burned body discovered in an icebox, and single fingerprint solving two over 10-year-old murders. From the 1877 murder resulting in the naming of Deadman Lake to Michigan's 3rd largest mass murder in 1982 to a murder-suicide in 2017 Clare County history has averaged a murder every 2.24 years. Shootings, knifings, poisonings, strangulation, suffocation, and other means of murder are all present in a wide variety of Clare County murders.
