Michelle Lewis was a 25-year-old White woman from Ypsilanti, Michigan, who was abducted and murdered in 1983. Her remains were later found buried in a shallow grave on the property of Billy Mansfield Jr., a convicted serial killer born in 1956 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Billy Mansfield Jr. was convicted for the murders of at least five women and girls between 1975 and 1980 and had buried four victims on his family’s property in Spring Hill, Florida. The discovery of Lewis’s remains on Mansfield’s property connected him to another victim and prompted investigators to re-examine other missing persons cases, aiding identification of additional victims.

The recovery of Lewis’s remains was a pivotal development in the broader investigation into Mansfield’s crimes. Does anyone have information about Michelle Lewis’s life in Michigan or about how she came to be linked to the Florida site?
