Anthony Cody was 34 when he was found on October 31, 1983, in Los Angeles with multiple stab wounds in a secluded area of the city. The circumstances pointed to foul play and prompted a Los Angeles Police Department homicide investigation.

Early inquiries considered a robbery gone wrong because Cody reportedly carried significant amounts of cash. Investigators also explored personal connections and recent disputes; several acquaintances were questioned. The case remained unsolved in the immediate aftermath and no arrests were announced at that time.

What details about Cody’s movements that night or contacts in the days before his death might help clarify whether the attack was opportunistic or targeted?
