Jodi Christine Parrack (September 2, 1996 – November 8, 2007) was an 11-year-old girl from Constantine, Michigan who was kidnapped while riding her bicycle on a local street, then sexually assaulted and murdered. Her case drew considerable media attention not only due to the heinous nature of the crime but also due to initial misidentification of the perpetrator, resulting in an overturned conviction and debates about official procedures surrounding interrogations and information shared with suspects. Case and initial investigations Jodi Parrack, a fifth-grade student at the Riverside Elementary School, disappeared on November 8, 2007, while riding her bicycle. She was subsequently found near a headstone at the Constantine Township Cemetery; she had died of asphyxiation, and there was evidence of sexual assault. Suspicion initially fell upon Raymond McCann, a reserve police officer, after McCann had suggested searching the local cemetery. McCann insisted that his suggestion was based on his experience with criminal investigations, knowledge of the town's geography and intuition, but some questioned if his suggestion itself indicated involvement. McCann later stated his interrogations were intensive and that authorities had (falsely) claimed that DNA evidence had linked him to the crime scene, a practice which the United States Supreme Court had allowed in its ruling in Frazier v. Cupp. McCann continued to deny any connection to Parrack's abduction, and no concrete evidence had linked him to the crime. However, in 2015, investigators charged him with five counts of perjury after claims that he had lied about his path during the search for Jodi, and that a surveillance camera near a creamery did not show him walking where he had claimed to be (it was later disputed if the camera had the correct angle to note his presence). McCann pleaded no contest to one of the perjury counts and was sentenced to a term of 22 months to 22 years in prison. Perpetrator Authorities’ focus changed when, in 2017, nearly 8 years after the murder, another girl from White Pigeon, Michigan was attacked in an attempted abduction by Daniel K. Furlong, 65, who had attempted to take her into his garage. Furlong was a local youth sports coach, and he was taken into custody upon discovery of a “kidnap list” in his home, with indications that Furlong had been targeting several girls in the region. The list not only aroused suspicion that Furlong might have been behind the abduction of Jodi
