On August 27, a relative of 64-year-old Sandra Eichorn found her body on the floor of her South Genesee Drive home. Police confirmed the victim was murdered but would not comment on a cause of death.
Following Sandra's murder Alley announced the forming of a joint task force, made up of Lansing Police, the FBI and Michigan State Police. Alley said the task force was going to look for connections between Sandra's murder and other recent unsolved homicides.
Before police could finish connecting the dots on the murder cases they were called to the scene of another attack. On August 28, a 56-year-old woman was assaulted in her Jones Street home. A man who claimed to be looking for work entered the back door of her house and struck her on the head. Luckily her dog was able to scare off the attacker. The victim, who has not been identified, provided police with a description of the suspect.

"This victim was brutally attacked and she stayed coherent, articulate and like in any investigation, we got the break and things started to fall in our favor and break wide open," Lansing Police Department Capt. Ray Hall told Wlns.com.
