CLA 26 : (Decomposing Body): Reading
PATROL REPORT
At 07:43 hrs, on Friday, 19 July 2013 members of "Club de Pétion-Ville" in Pétion-Ville made a phone call to the Pétion-Ville Police Station complaining of a stinking smell conforming to decomposing bodies. The smell was distinctly dissimilar to the smell coming from the nearby sausage plant. A team of experts including UNPOL investigators and SWAT was dispatched which reached the location at 07:50 hrs. to begin with the search for smelly object and to investigate into the incident. At around 08:05 hrs, the police team, with the assistance of cadaver- smelling dogs, discovered a dead body in a bag wrapped in plastic, covered by a bush, about 150 feet from a garage behind an apartment building, in a field. The investigating police at the scene had difficulty determining the body was female due to the state of advanced decomposition. The Police and the community members continued to search in the abandoned homes which resulted in the discovery of two other female bodies who appeared to have been thrown through one of the windows into the basement of an abandoned house. After two more bodies were found in the Petion-Ville area (bringing the total up to three homicides in a single day), Mayor Gary Norman came to the scene along with representatives from multiple bureaus and organizations. All three victims were found with no ID but were black females. The first discovered was dressed in a green hoodie with a pink and green orchid tattoo on her left thigh. The second woman was wearing a leopard print purple top and the third wore a green jacket and had a pink orchid tattoo on hip. The state of decomposition of the bodies indicated that all three females had been killed within six to ten days.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 1
At 10:15 hrs the bodies were taken to the local Pétion-Ville hospital for medical examination in order to determine their identity and cause of death. Due to the level of decomposition, the Police contemplated the use of DNA for identification. Three crime scene vehicles and an evidence recovery team arrived to check the open lot and the checking continued until late evening. Evidence technicians analyzed the area for hours but discovered nothing.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 2
The Pétion-Ville County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson identified the first of the three women as being Angela Deskins believed to be 32-years-old. His office continued the investigation to establish the causes of death and the identities of the other two women. All three victims had the same modus operandi leading back to 35-year-old Michael Madison, a registered sex offender. The MOs of these serial homicides looked very similar to that of convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell who has been serving a 15-year prison sentence since 2005. Police interviewed Ms. Lori Norman, Anthony's girlfriend but retrieved no clues. Police also interviewed Madison's former girl-friend, Emy Fortson, 31, who stated that she felt unsafe shortly after she began dating Madison. When she tried to end the relationship, he threatened her several times by pointing a gun at her head asking if she wanted to die. In one situation, he bound her hands and feet with a tie and a belt, and gagged her with a rag to the point of almost unconsciousness. She choked and her body tingled before she freed herself. She said Madison regularly changed his women and some of them have been reported missing from the neighborhood. She admitted that she felt guilty for not speaking up sooner. Nathenia Crosby, 48, said that Madison was her neighbour who frightened her because of his obsession with her daughter.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 3
Police used warrants to search the garage and the apartment across the alley around Michael Madison's apartment. Around 16:30 hrs. on Saturday, 20th July 2013, the SWAT and investigating police officers got involved in a standoff with a suspect in the homicide of the three females whose bodies were found about 100 to 200 yards apart in Petion-Ville. The suspect was tracked by the Police to his mother's house, located at the corner of E. 197th Street and Saint Martin Boulevard in Pétion-Ville near the Cite Soleil border. The Investigating Team Leader UNPOL Carla Rees used a bullhorn to persuade Michael Madison to surrender but he did not. Finally, after breaking down the door, the Police arrested Madison at 17:00 hrs., without incident. A bystander at the scene said that Madison seemed to have something on his mind but appeared to still be a normal guy.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 4
UNPOL Investigators and the SWAT officers took Madison in for questioning for his suspected involvement in the Pétion-Ville homicide. Suspicion of Madison's involvement was compounded by the fact that he was a registered sex offender, who had spent time in prison and that the dead bodies were found near his apartment building.
