GENESEE COUNTY, MI – A donation from an outside source has upped the reward to $4,000 being offered by Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County for information leading to an arrest in an unsolved murder case dating back nearly 20 years.
Anne Paetz, 23, was driving from Saginaw to the Montrose area at around 2 a.m. July 2, 1999 when she went missing.
Her body was found by a jogger around 7:45 a.m. July 2, 1999 on the side of Farrand Road in Thetford Township.
The location was roughly 15 miles from where her 1995 champagne-colored Ford Contour was found on M-57 around 2:40 a.m. the same morning, according to Flint Journal records. It had sustained damage to the right rear quarter panel but was still operational.
DNA of an unknown man was found on Paetz’s ring. Michigan State Police said they believed she punched her attacker in the nose. The DNA from the ring was put into a national database in 2009.
Michigan State Police Lt. David Kaiser previously told MLive-The Flint Journal that dozens of tips have come in her since her death including on Sept. 2, 2016 when a suspect was arrested on homicide and rape charges in connection to Paetz’s death.
However, the suspect’s DNA wound up not being a match and the murder case remains open. Kaiser commented Thursday afternoon he was not aware of any recent tips.
Anyone with information on Paetz’s murder is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245) on the P3 Tips app, or at P3Tips.com.
