In the winter of 2015, the story of 40-year-old Lisa Ann Maison unfolded with a perplexing and tragic series of events. Initially, she was reported as a missing person, last seen on February 20, 2015, at the Greyhound Bus Station on Howard Street in Detroit, Michigan. Concerns for her well-being grew, and Crime Stoppers of Michigan offered a $2,500 reward for information that could help locate her.
She was described as having spoken with several people before walking out of the station and heading west.
The narrative took a dark turn when it was revealed that Lisa Maison had been found deceased. She had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head, and her death was ruled a homicide. The Detroit Police Department later admitted to intentionally misleading the public by initially classifying her case as a missing person investigation. This unusual tactic was a strategic effort to generate more tips and information from the public that could aid in their homicide investigation. Crime Stoppers subsequently issued an apology for the misleading information that had been disseminated.
Lisa Ann Maison, a resident of Monroe, was a registered nurse with a Master of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Detroit Mercy. She was remembered as an accomplished vocal soloist who enjoyed music and dance. Despite the police department's investigative strategy and the public's initial involvement in what was believed to be a missing person case, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with her murder. The case remains a somber and unresolved chapter in the city's records.
