Mike Boudet

Her body was discovered in a brush pile near the garage behind Michael's apartment.

It was bound in layers of heavy trash bags, the same method used for the other victims.

Forensic examination was limited due to decomposition, but there were signs of trauma and possible strangulation.

Shatisha had bruises on her face and her clothing had ligature marks.

Last to be found was 38-year-old Angela Deskins.

She was discovered days after the first body in a musty basement of an abandoned house near Michael's apartment.

Angela was a quiet woman with a soft voice trying to piece her life back together.

She had once worked as a hairdresser, someone who brought beauty to others.

but she struggled to get by and pull her own life together.

Someone introduced her to Michael.

He seemed somewhat safe enough and had a calm personality.

That was all it took.

In the days after Michael's arrest, neighbors were quick to share their memories, not about him, but about his mother, Diane Madison, and what she'd been through.

Everyone spoke highly of her.

Michael loved his mother.

He admitted this openly.

But he also alluded to neglect.

What he didn't do in the interrogation was throw her under the bus.

But the defense did that for him at the trial.

The trial formally started in April of 2016.
