Detroit — Becky Dorie didn't want to believe rumors about a serial killer targeting women near Patton Park in her southwest Detroit neighborhood. But it spurred the mother of eight to patrol almost nightly with a community group in hopes of protecting the area.
"We're hoping to get our streets back," she said. "We're fighting to get this crime under control."
Despite what police are saying — that the tales of rape and murder aren't true — Dorie joined about 50 residents Thursday night for a candlelight vigil at the park to highlight what they are calling the recent spate of violence.
Some neighbors say authorities are ignoring the violence, but police insist rumors have spun out of control.
