Gary Artman was identified through DNA and genetic genealogy in August 2022
“You are going to see through the mind of a killer,” Bartlett told jurors. “But it’s not really murder when these women deserved it – that’s the mindset .”
The investigation went cold until Artman was identified through DNA and genetic genealogy in August 2022. He was arrested that month during a traffic stop in Mississippi. Matters were accelerated after the accused killer was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in June. The accused’s legal eagles noted there were no witnesses to the 1996 murder and his lurid journals did not have time stamps.Hammack’s younger sister, Tina DeYoung, admitted her sister struggled with drug abuse but testified that at the time of the murder, Hammack was turning her life around.Article content
Artman is also accused in the May 4, 2006 slaying of 24-year-old Dusty Shuck in Maryland. Her body was discovered on May 4, 2006, on the shoulder of eastbound I-70. She had been beaten and stabbed.According to the Grand Rapids Press, Artman lived in the western Michigan city for more than 20 years but most of the time he lived out of his truck. He had served 11 years in the slammer for raping three women in Port Huron.
Cops suspect that Artman is a serial killer. Between 1994 and 1996, more than a dozen women from the Grand Rapids area either disappeared or were found murdered. Nearly all were drug-addicted sex workers.“We kept reading in the news, another death, another body found. … But there was also this sense of discounting it, because ‘I’m not a streetwalker.’ I think people at the time really thought it was one , and that ‘this guy is not coming for me, so I don’t have to worry.
