Detroit detectives may need to brush up on their crime solving skills. After the department dropped the Andrew Anthos murder mystery, Triangle Foundation and National Gay and Lesbian Task Force joined forces to crack the case.

For those of you not paying attention, the 72-year old homo died last February after suffering head injuries from an alleged anti-gay attack. Anthos and his niece both claim an unidentified man took Anthos down, but the coroner ruled it an accident.

Gay activists weren't satisfied and canvassed Anthos' neighborhood for leads. And, according to Triangle's director of victim services, Melissa Pope, their efforts have turned over more than a few leads:

In one evening, we have uncovered more than enough additional leads to redouble our efforts in this case. I’m surprised to hear the police department claim that they uncovered no witnesses with 40 hours of overtime spent on the case, when we were able to talk to several people in just one evening.

The Detroit Police made a mistake when they closed this case so quickly. We want to present the additional information we’ve discovered to Chief Bully-Cummings and ask her to re-open the case Andrew deserves justice, Andrew’s family deserves justice, and we are not going to rest until they have justice.
