On December 2nd, 1988, 19-year-old Cathy Sue Swartz went about her morning routine as usual at her Three Rivers, Michigan townhouse. The evening prior, Cathy’s boyfriend had stayed the night with her and her 9-month-old daughter, Courtney. They had spent the evening decorating the Christmas tree, putting up decorations, and wrapping presents for Courtney’s first Christmas. Around 5am, Cathy bid farewell to her boyfriend as he left for work, telling him she planned to spend the day catching up on laundry.
Around 3:30pm, Cathy’s boyfriend returned to her two-story Riverside Townhouse located on Lockport Drive, only to discover the apartment's red front door was slightly ajar.

There, it is believed Cathy’s attacker sexually assaulted, strangled, and beat her, before stabbing her more than a dozen times, and slitting her throat. Her ultimate cause of death was listed as severe blood loss. (See sources for apartment floor plans.)
Investigators found nothing missing from Cathy’s home, and discovered no signs of forced entry. Cathy was found partially nude, however was still in her pajama’s leading detectives to believe she was attacked in the early afternoon.
It was learned that while a good amount of blood found at the scene belonged to Cathy, some of it was not hers. Investigators believe during the struggle, Cathy’s attacker was injured. Aside from leaving behind a good amount of blood and a near perfect bloody fingerprint, Cathy’s murderer also left behind some other bizarre c

Just about every major intersection around Grad Rapids was like this.
Fuck you.
Seriously. This is not difficult.
Oh, you found yourself in a left turn lane? ...guess you're turning left now, motherfucker.
That is all.
