Teresa Cooper, 48, was found beaten and stabbed to death in the upstairs bedroom of her home at 1117 W. North Street in Kokomo, Indiana, on February 8, 2005. Investigators concluded she was attacked while she slept. No arrest was made in the immediate aftermath and her death remains unsolved.

Born September 19, 1956, Teresa was a Delphi Community High School graduate, a homemaker, married to Gary W. Cooper, and a mother who enjoyed crafts, collecting angels, and mushroom hunting. A neighbor of her son, Nathan Dodson, later reported seeing a person in a hoodie in the alley between the homes on the morning of the murder, though poor visibility at that hour made the sighting uncertain. Detectives noted similarities between Teresa’s killing and other unsolved local homicides from that period.

Anyone who knew Teresa or who has information about activity near 1117 W. North Street on February 8, 2005 is asked to come forward.
