Talfrieda (Frieda) Covington

In the early summer of 1991, the 28-year-old Muskegon Heights High School graduate was taking adult education classes and wanted to attend Muskegon Community College in the fall, hoping to get secretarial or medical work.

“Frieda” didn’t drink, do drugs or go to clubs. She had no criminal involvement. No gang affiliations. No street life.

None of that insulated her from a cruel, early death that remains unsolved after 21 years.

Covington was found around 6:45 a.m. June 30, 1991, on the sidewalk in front of her home.

A grisly Muskegon police photograph of the crime scene, not shared with the public, tells the tale. Six weeks pregnant, Covington had been stabbed more than 20 times in the abdomen, chest and back.

“It was brutal, heinous,” said Muskegon Police Det. Matt Kolkema, currently assigned to the long-cold case. “It was a crime of passion.”

The murder of Paige Stalker

We’re back in the Grosse Pointe area for the unsolved murder of 16-year-old Paige Stalker. While police have a suspect in her case, the prosecution appears stalled. Her family, including big sister, Avery, who we interview, is frustrated by the lack of progress in her case.

Anyone with information about this deadly shooting should contact Detroit police at 313-596-2663.
