Gary Leiterman was convicted in 2005 for the 1969 murder of Jane Mixer.
Although there might be some controversy regarding Gary Leiterman's conviction for the murder of Jane Mixer, her case was always associated with the Michigan "Co-Ed Murders".
Leiterman was only convicted of one murder - that of Jane Mixer, based on DNA evidence. IF he killed Jane, could he have killed others too? If he didn't kill Jane, who did?

Gary Leiterman, 62, of Gobles, Michigan, arraigned Nov. 24, 2004 in the 1969 slaying of Jane Louise Mixer, 23, of Muskegon. She was a University of Michigan law student who was abducted and murdered in March 1969.
The murder of Jane Mixer was originally linked by investigators to what they believed was a series called "The Co-ed Murders". Some believed that it was separate from the others due to a number of differences in MO.
DNA was obtained from Jane's clothing which was still being stored in evidence and compared to a data base of known offenders, which led to a match with the DNA of Gary Leiterman. He was charged, tried and convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. He has since died.
Leiterman has not been connected with any of the other Co-ed murders.
