Ivan Page

Ivan Lee Page (born April 7, 1969) is an American serial killer who strangled three prostitutes to death in Flint, Michigan, between 1998 and 2001. As a result of DNA testing, Page was arrested for the murders in 2007 while incarcerated for different crimes, later being convicted of one and sentenced to life in prison.

Murders On May 13, 1998, the body of 34-year-old Patricia "Tresa" Peeler was found dumped near Avenue A in Flint. Due to her being a prostitute, police initially suspected that Peeler had died from a cocaine overdose. However, when investigating the cause of death, Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic stated that Peeler was likely smothered to death. DNA from a male was recovered at the scene.

Over a year later, on October 8, 1999, the body of 31-year-old Lisa Marie Price was found. Price, a sex worker from Canton, Ohio, was found lying in a yard on Susan Street near W. Mott Avenue.

On January 20, 2001, the body of 34-year-old Deena Brown, a mother of three, was found outside of Northridge Academy. Next to her body was a sweatshirt which, later on, was proven to have been the weapon used to strangle her to death. DNA was found on the sweatshirt. While serving his sentence at a state prison camp, Page was required to submit a sample of his DNA so it could be entered into the FBI's Combined DNA Index System. In August 2007, following the results, his DNA was matched to the DNA that was found on the three murdered women.
