On a cold December morning in 2011 a Boston officer performing a wellness check at 8 Wardman Road in Roxbury found 60-year-old Gail Miles dead in her second-floor kitchen. Miles, a retired Watertown Police Department officer who had owned the apartment for nearly four decades, was found face up in a pool of dried blood. Investigators reported blunt force trauma to the head and sharp force injuries to the neck; the scene showed no obvious signs of forced entry or a struggle and appeared unusually tidy, which led detectives to believe she may have let someone into her home.

The attackers wiped the apartment clean of fingerprints, the murder weapons were missing, and a small handgun friends said Miles carried was also gone. In the days before her death the building had been sold at a foreclosure auction and Miles reportedly arranged a rental agreement with the new owner and was to meet him the night she is believed to have been killed; whether that meeting occurred is unclear. Miles had previously sued the Watertown department after experiencing racial and sexual harassment during her policing career. No arrests have been announced and the murder remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Gail, her routines, or who she planned to meet that December, please share what you know.
