Serial killer dies 4 years into 11 life sentences

By Joe Swickard - Detroit Free Press

Saturday, October 11, 1997

Benjamin (Tony) Atkins, who grew from a tortured childhood into America's fastest serial killer, has died four years into the 11 life terms he was serving for a string of murders in Detroit and Highland Park.

Atkins , 29, died three weeks ago at Duane Waters Hospital, which is connected with the Egeler Correctional Facility in Jackson. Cause of death was listed as HIV infection.

Word of his death moved through the Detroit criminal justice community late this week when appellate courts announced that the challenge to his multiple convictions was moot.

"While no one takes joy in another's death -- even one who has committed such hideous crimes -at least those who lost loved ones at Mr. Atkins ' hands can take comfort in knowing he will never be released back into society," said Michael Reynolds, who prosecuted Atkins in a fourmonth Detroit Recorder's Court trial.

During a nine-month period in 1991 and 1992, Atkins raped and strangled 11 women, many of whom had histories of prostitution and drug abuse. Several of his victims were found in abandoned motels and other derelict buildings near Woodward Avenue.

Atkins amassed the greatest number of victims in such a period of time in the United States, according to FBI investigators.

Atkins said he was driven by hatred of prostitutes.

Before he was arrested, as the toll mounted, a task force of investigators from Highland Park, Detroit, the Michigan State Police and the FBI was assembled.

The coalition underscored the urgency of the manhunt, given the frequently bitter relations between the Detroit city administration and the FBI.

Yet, through false starts and occasional stumbles, the task force pulled together, helped in great measure by a woman who had survived an attack by a street character she knew only as Tony.

"Any serial killer, especially a prolific one like Atkins , requires a good team effort," task force member Paul Lindsay said Friday.
