RIP April Millsap
Police said April was walking her dog around the time of her death. When she did not return home from the walk, her mother called police.
Police said in a news release Sunday that “it’s possible someone may remember seeing April with Penny, or Penny unattended, around the critical timeframe of 6:20 p.m.- 8:20 p.m., July 24th.”
The teen’s death was ruled a homicide by the Macomb County Medical Examiner’s Office. The cause of her death has not been released. Police have said there were no gunshot or stab wounds.
Police released the above sketch of one possible suspect and have said said they are searching for a gray box van, occupied by two men, and are trying to get information on a small blue and white motorcycle, driven by a younger man.
Millsap, 14, sent a text message to her boyfriend the night of her murder that read, "Omg. Wtf. I think I'm being kidnapped," Armada Police Chief Howard Smith told The Macomb Daily. However, CBS Detroit said police wouldn't confirm the contents of the text message.
Today, Michigan State Police and an FBI task force members working on the Milsap case were executing search warrants at a home in Wales Township, about 20 miles northeast of Armada, reports MLive.com. The Detroit Free Press reports that the home is registered to a 66-year-old registered sex offender who was convicted in 1995 of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13, and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person between 13 and 16, citing records.

=================================
Sounds like police suspect several men working as a team. Scary shit -- April was walking her dog and it was still pretty early in the evening when she was taken.
Hoping the killer(s) are identified and off the streets quickly.
