[SolVic]

The article only states that he died in November 1983. What was his cause of death?

How many other victims were there?

It is good that Christina's murder has been solved after 40 years.

He accidentally killed himself via erotic asphyxiation.

''Based on information received from Shaw's family, the Sheriff's Office said, he was a sex addict with a disturbing life who struggled with mental illness and his gender identity.

"Charles Shaw had several interactions with law enforcement beginning at a young age. One such interaction resulted in his arrest in 1981 for the attempted abduction of a woman in the Fowlerville McDonald's parking lot," the release noted.''

''In 1973, Shaw was arrested by the Livonia Police Department on a breaking-and-entering charge. In 1977, he was arrested by the LPD on a drug possession charge. In 1981, he was sentenced to two weeks in jail and probation for the Fowlerville incident, according to Young. And in 1982, he was arrested for larceny of women's shoes from a Kmart.''

''Other unsolved murders​

"The hope is that we end up solving some other (murders). They are not giving up. We're not done. There are other cold cases out there, but I couldn't be happier with the work that was done," Murphy said.

Among the unsolved homicides in Livingston County are:

Kimberly Louiselle, 16, was last seen near 8 Mile and Merriman roads in Livonia on March 20, 1982. Nearly three weeks later, her body was found in a thicket in the Island Lake Recreation Area in Green Oak Township by a couple hiking in the park.

Paige Renkoski, of Okemos, was last seen talking to a man standing between her car and a maroon minivan on May 24, 1990, on the shoulder of Interstate 96, a quarter-mile east of the Fowlerville exit. Although her body has never been found, police have ruled the case a homicide.''

.........

''Anthony (Nikki) Nicholas was a Detroit resident whose body was found in an abandoned farmhouse in Green Oak Township in February 2003. Nicholas, who was transgender, had supported herself as a female impersonator in several metro Detroit bars. Nicholas was last seen Feb. 15, 2003, when she was going to a party somewhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor. She died from a gunshot wound''

"In 1981 he was accused of attempting to abduct a woman in a McDonald’s parking lot in Fowlerville. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and served two weeks in jail before he was placed on probation."

I would love to see an interview with whatever prosecutor allowed him to get a plea deal that involved two weeks of jail and probation for an attempted abduction.
