Helen Dobransky, 97, was found shot to death in her Osnaburg Township, Ohio farmhouse on November 12, 2014, alongside Kenneth Bittinger, 83, who had been her caregiver and longtime family friend. A couple who went to visit knocked, got no answer and then called authorities; investigators estimated both victims had been dead for several hours before being discovered.

The Stark County Sheriff’s Department opened a homicide investigation. Sheriff George T. Maier said there were no immediate suspects while detectives developed leads and worked to eliminate possibilities. The Stark County Coroner’s Office performed autopsies; the results were not released publicly. Neighbors remembered Dobransky as a kindly neighbor who rarely left home and whose death, with Bittinger’s, shocked the community.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Helen or Kenneth, or has information about that November 12, 2014 double homicide, please come forward.
