Child killer case now a battle in Oakland County's political arena

As the star in the TV ad supporting Mike Bishop's run against incumbent Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper, Barry King could not be a more sympathetic figure.

Dressed in a suit and tie, King says to the camera: "I am the 81-year-old father of the last victim of the Oakland County child killer. It's been 35 years, and we still don't know who killed Tim. When Jessica Cooper took office, she refused to talk to my family. She even took me to court and falsely accused me of a felony. … If it was your child, we believe you would join us in opposing Jessica Cooper."

Last week, King again sought to harness the court of public opinion against Cooper, the self-described "legal arm" of the task force investigating the abduction and murder of four children in 1976 and 1977.
