Dozens of murder cases remain open in Oakland County. Prosecutors won't say which are currently before the county grand jury, but here's a look at some of the notable unsolved cases:
• Kenneth Kanehl, 39, and Pamela Barnes, 41, were found shot to death in a home on Brunswick in Waterford in July 2005. They had moved to the home a few months earlier. Last September, Waterford police working on the case executed search warrants at a home in Milford, but declined to say what they were looking for. Jessie Kanehl, Kenneth Kanehl's stepmother, said the home belonged to the father of Barnes' ex-boyfriend. • Mildred Siebert, 46, was stabbed several times on the driveway of her West Bloomfield home in 2002. Police have a pendant they say they believe the killer lost during the attack. West Bloomfield police say the investigation remains active.
• Kristi Frontera, 31, disappeared from a Farmington Hills home one snowy night in March 1993. After several years, one of the men who had been visiting the home that night told police a second man, who lived there, had smothered or strangled Frontera in the basement. He said the two of them threw her body in the Detroit River near the Renaissance Center. Prosecutors declined to press charges, citing a lack of evidence. Her skull was discovered by divers on the bottom of the river in 2001. The man police believe killed her is in a federal prison for an unrelated conviction.
• Four children were killed between 1976 and 1977 in what police believe are connected slayings. The victims of the Oakland County Child Killer were Mark Stebbins, 12, of Ferndale; Jill Robinson, 12, of Royal Oak; Kristine Mihelich, 10, of Berkley, and Timothy King, 11, of Birmingham. A felon from Kalamazoo is under investigation because his DNA is similar to that taken from a hair found on Mihelich's body.
