A 70-year-old man convicted of killing two Michigan boys decades ago and suspected in the unsolved deaths of three boys in Florida has died in prison, the Michigan Department of Corrections said.
He was sentenced to life in prison without parole two weeks ago.
He also was a main suspect in the disappearances of three teenage Florida boys in Brevard County in the 1970s, where he lived at the time.
Keith Fleming, 14, disappeared in 1977 from Cocoa Beach; Kip Hess, 12, went missing in 1979 from Merritt Island; and Charles Collingwood, 19, disappeared from Sharpes the same year.
McRae was never charged in the cases, but Florida police interviewed him repeatedly, at least once a year for several years, including as recently as at his June 15 sentencing. Florida authorities offered him immunity from prosecution if he told police where the boys' bodies were, but McRae never told.
