So Kimberly was picked up by a stranger in Brightmoore, and boyfriend brother remembered his license plate # because the stranger seemed strange.
At some point, (we don't know when,) police interviewed stranger, and deduced that he was being truthful, that he dropped Kimberly off at 8-Mile and Merriman Rd?
Here's my problem with that.
On June 30th, 1968 - 20-year-old art student Joan Schell disappeared after hitchhiking from a bus stop in Ypsilanti MI. She was trying to make her way to Ann Arbor MI, to visit her boyfriend. About a week after being last seen at the bus stop, her body was found by construction workers on an Ann Arbor roadside.
Two months after Schell's murder, police found two eyewitnesses who said they saw Schell walking with a man on Emmet Street the evening she disappeared. The eyewitnesses were not certain, but both thought the man might have been John Collins: a student at Eastern Michigan University.

Also, Collins physical features bore a likeness to the composite drawing police had generated of the driver of the vehicle that picked Schell up at the bus stop.

Police questioned Collins who denied ever knowing Schell. Collins told them he was at his mothers house in Center Line on June 29th, and 30th.
John Collins seemed like a very nice man, so police did not bother to check his alibi. In fact, several more women would be murdered, and it would not be until 1969, when police would learn that John Collins was not the nice gentleman they thought he was when they interviewed him in 1967. John Collins is known as the "Michigan Murderer."
In another example, on April 26, 2013, - 25-year-old Jessica Heeringa was working her job as a cashier at a gas station in Norton Shores MI.
A customer entered the gas station around 11:00PM to buy some gas, but Heeringa was no where to be found. The customer called police, and they came to investigate.
A woman who worked at the gas station, but not with Heeringa that night; told police that she and her husband were riding their motorcycles past the gas station when they saw a silver mini van pull to the back door of the station.
When they went back to investigate they saw a man loading something into the rear hatch of the van. The pair also captured a peek of the man as he drove past them.

A police sketch of the man described as wearing a bright red sweat shirt was generated, and issued to the press. A couple of weeks later, police received a tip from employees at a coffee shop who said the man looked very similar to one of their customers who sometimes wore a bright red sweat shirt, and drove a silver mini van.
Police tracked the man down, and learned that his name was Jeff Willis. Willis told police he was at his deceased grandfather's abandon house gathering wood to build a kennel for his dog on the night Heeringa disappeared.

Police quickly dismissed Willis as a suspect, and moved on to look for other clues. Another woman would be murdered, and years would go by until police got a call from a 16-year-old girl who reported that she had been kidnapped by a man driving a silver mini van.
Police investigated, and were able to track down her kidnapper; who's name happened to be Jeff Willis. After searching his van, they were able to link him to the abduction and murder of Jessica Heeringa, and a year or two old murder case of a woman named Rebekah Bletsch who was shot and killed while out jogging. Jeffery Willis is known as the "Muskegon Monster".
Those two examples are just a couple of reasons why I believe the stranger should be a suspect in Kimberly's abduction and murder.
Now, if 8-mile and Merriman has anything to do with Kimberly's abduction, then things get weird.
I made a map, and put a red pin on 8-mile and Merriman. I then placed another red pin by Brighten where it was said that Kimberly's body was found at the Park and Ride. What I came up with is a straight path.
But what I found in the middle of that path is somewhat chilling.

Do you see the purple pin in the middle of the path? That's right around the area of 12-Oaks-Mall, where 17-year-old Kellie Brownlee was said to have been hitchhiking, when she disappeared on May 20, 1982, exactly two months after Kimberly disappeared to the day.
On March 20, 1969, 23-year-old U of M student Jane Mixer disappeared after posting a note on a college bulletin board seeking a ride across the state to her hometown of Muskegon.
Mixer is the only Ann Arbor MI, murder victim that was not tied to John Norman Collins, the "Michigan Murderer". Mixer's body was found in a graveyard the day after she dissapeared.
Do these murders have anything in common?
Joan Mixer - March 20, 1969
Kimberly Louiselle - March 20, 1982
Kellie Brownlee - May 20, 1982
Christina Castiglione - March 19, 1983
Is it possible that the murderer in these above cases, might have been somewhat of a John Collins copycat killer?
