LANSING, Mich. (Crime Library) —
Last week investigators announced 27-year-old Matthew "Chilly" Emmanuel Macon, who has been in prison off and on since 2001, is a suspect in at least five unsolved murders that occurred this summer in mid-Michigan. He is also being looked at as a possible suspect in a sixth murder from 2004.

Police arrested Macon last Tuesday on suspicion of not reporting to his parole officer and not registering as a sex offender. He also had an outstanding warrant for breaking and entering. Macon has an extensive criminal history, including two sex offenses, larceny and unlawfully driving an automobile. Investigators have not yet provided details on what evidence they have connecting Macon to the murder cases, but they have noted similarities between Macon and a description given to them by a witness.
