Murder of Jodi Parrack

Jodi Christine Parrack (September 2, 1996 – November 8, 2007) was an 11-year-old girl from Constantine, Michigan who was kidnapped while riding her bicycle on a local street, then sexually assaulted and murdered.

Jodi Parrack, a fifth-grade student at the Riverside Elementary School, disappeared on November 8, 2007, while riding her bicycle.

[1][2] In September 2023, McCann was exonerated and a seven person jury awarded him $14.5 million for having his constitutional rights violated by a Michigan State Police Sergeant.

With the sentencing of the perpetrator, McCann continued to press his case to have his own charges dismissed and was subsequently fully exonerated of the crime.

The case has continued to receive discussion due to its circumstances and the tangled investigation, with the initial apprehension and indictment of a suspect who turned out not to be the actual culprit, and debates about proper police procedure.
