Garry Artman
Garry Artman, a long-haul truck driver, died of terminal lung cancer on December 28, 2023, at a state corrections health facility in Jackson, Michigan, where he had been receiving care. Before his death, Kent County sheriff's detectives and Grand Rapids police interviewed him several times about possible links to unsolved cases. Media reports say he told detectives he was responsible for a number of killings of women in the 1990s, mostly in Grand Rapids, but police have not said which cases are being examined, and his court-appointed lawyer said he did not know whether Artman had committed other murders. The Kent County Sheriff's Office said the meetings were fruitful to an extent.
