Bay City man told police he strangled man he met on Grindr, then dismembered him
Justie T. Stilwell left his Bay City home one September night to meet up with a man he knew through a dating app. He then disappeared, failing to show up for work at a local middle school. The mystery took a horrendous turn when Stilwell’s arms and legs were found floating in the Saginaw River. Within days, police developed a suspect. When they confronted their suspect, he confessed to killing and dismembering Stilwell, then discarding his body parts at different locations in the city, according to police.
Going away: A man is heading to federal prison after he supplied machine guns and gun conversion devices to gang members in Lansing.
