Homicide Spurs Memory Test

Not in our neighborhood and with Lake Wheeler in between, nonetheless this recent unsolved homicide has us a bit jittery. We're lowering the garage door more often even when we're both home. The route from our location to the homicide location.

The brain works in mysterious ways. For no reason other than having this homicide on my brain, an event from 55 years ago crept into my conscious a few weeks ago. Hazy at first, it became clearer but still clouded. Here's a query I sent to a HS bud:

> When we were in HS, a guy murdered a nurse, maybe more than one,
> in Ypsi. IIRC, he was a thespian and some of us had had some
> sorta contact with him before the murder(s). Can you recall his name?

My buddy replied: John Norman Collins. Collins was a serial murderer in Ann Arbor in 1967-9, 15 years later than the perp I sought. I replied:

> All I can dredge up from my memory is that his first name was Bill
> and his last name was something like Curry but this could be all wrong.

Sitting at the dining room table last eve, "Moorey" phonetically popped into my brain. I jumped to Google and, as I typed the query, I typed Morey, backspaced and inserted a second o, clicked search. No hit. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe brain was correct, removed that second o, clicked search, and bingo.
