Dr. Sillerly' s autopsy report and subsequent comments were interesting' if not enlightening. The cause of death was asphyxia caused by smothering. Also, the body was not frozen through, it had been exposed in the snow for less than 24 hours, in all probability. There was no gross evidence of sexual molestation or penetration in either girl thingy or anus, yet Dr. Sillery told a startled group of state crime lab technicians he had found sperm in both girl thingy and rectum. He could not account for how they had gotten there, despite some unique theories about the forcefulness of ejaculation. The fact that another~ pathologist and two State Police laboratory technicians were subsequently unable to detect sperm in the tissue slides he prepared perhaps explains things adequately--t.here were no sperm, and Kristine, like Jill, had not been violated. Dr. Sillery also expressed the view that Kris had dressed herself; her clothes were neat and clean, including her underwear, although she had been away from home 19 days. Deborah Ascroft, Kris' mother, commented that two things made her think Kris had been dressed by someone else, probably after she was killed; her blouse was tied in front, not in back as she normally tied it, and her pants were tucked into her boots, a thing she never did. During the nearly three weeks between the day Kris disappeared from somewhere along her presumed route between the 7-11 Store and the bowling alley where her mother tended bar, the task force concept of looking for the kidnapper first took shape. Lt. Jerry Simmons of the Southfield Police Department set up a meeting for all police departments with an interest in the recent Robinson homicide and the Mihelich disappearance. The officers present discussed the use of a computer for handling the information being accumulated by the departments in question, in order to avoid duplication of investigative effort, since the same names were coming in more than once or twice. They also talked about setting up a group of officers consisting of one or two from each department involved in the disappearances of the children; the group could be called on to assist ...

A U.S. Postal Service mailman, Jerome Wozny of Walled Lake, Michigan was delivering mail on Bruce Lane, a dead-end street west of Telegraph Road in Franklin Village, Michigan, when he spotted something in the snow-filled ditch alongside the road; the time was about 11:45 a.m. Something of a scavenger of items he noticed it as he drove along in his mail truck. Wozny stopped, backed up, got out, and walked over to a "blue something" in the snow. When he saw an arm and a hand as he got closer, he realized he had found a body. Getting back in his truck, he drove immediately to the Franklin Village Police Department to report his finding. Dr. Sillerly' s autopsy report and sl.lbsequen't comments were interesting' if not enlightening. The cause of death was asphyxia caused by smothering.

IV. THE OAKLAND COUNTY SPECIAL TASK FORCE A. Genesis The successful formation of a cooperative major crime task force in southern Oakland County north of Detroit speaks for the enormity of the crimes being investigated and the pressure on the police to solve them--pressure both from the public in demanding an end to this threat to children and from themselves as frustrated professionals faced with a cunning and careful criminal. There are more than 70 different police forces in the Detroit area, varying greatly in size from Franklin Village with 5 personnel to Livonia with 180 and to Detroit itself with over 5,,300 and exhibiting different degrees of territorial jealousy. In each murder, the abduction took place in one jurisdiction, and the body was found in another. Nonetheless, the task force was formed, funded, and has operated effectively in making inroads in the accumulation of 11,000 tips and leads that confronted the detectives in April 1977. B. Impetus For Mobilization As noted eaxlier, the Task Force originally began working out of the Intelligence Office of the Southfield Police Departme~t after Lt. Simmons of the department had called a meeting of the police departments concerned with the Kris Mihelich disappearance. That meeting was held on January 12, 1977, and there was still a nucleus of investigators working on the Mihelich case when Chief Tobin of Birmingham asked for assistance in dealing with Tim King's abduction. By afbernoon on March 17, a new Task Force l<eadquarters had been set up at the Adams Fire Station in Birmingham, and within a very short period of time as many as 180 to 200 detectives were working out of that office, including investigators from some 51 communities in the area as well as the Detroit Police Department, the Oakland County Sheriff's Department, and the Michigan State Police. Because the fire station quarters were inadequate for a group that size, on March 24 the Task Force was moved to Valley Wqod School at 32605 Bellvine Trail in Beverly Hill, just outside Birmingham.
