Alma Lake and Michelle Dawson-Pass
About this episode
This episode discusses the cases of Alma Lake and Michelle Dawson-Pass, two young Black women from Columbus, Ohio, whose murders were connected through DNA evidence.
Episode 192 Alma Lake and Michelle Dawson-Pass Alma and Michelle were both from Columbus, Ohio. Both were young Black women. Both had children. Both led troubled lives involving sex work and drugs. And both were slain in the 1990s and dumped outdoors in remarkably similar circumstances. But no one really connected their cases, five years apart and in different counties, until DNA in each case connected to the same unknown killer. When modern investigators flushed him out using IGG, they were not surprised to learn he had other victims. This episode is sponsored by Function Health.
