Jeffrey Thomas Nash, 21, was found dead inside a burning car on Fleet Street in Rankin, Pennsylvania, on December 12, 2017. First responders arrived for a vehicle fire and discovered Nash’s body; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner determined he died of a gunshot wound to the head and that the fire had been set intentionally to conceal the killing.

Investigators say Nash had found a lost dog earlier that day, located the owner from the dog’s tag, and arranged to return the animal. It is believed he drove to Fleet Street at about 1:45 p.m. to meet the owner; neighbors reported seeing him on his cellphone in the car. Police have said they believe the killing is connected to the attempt to return the dog rather than to drugs. A gun and a single bullet casing were reportedly recovered, but the dog was not.

No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested and the case remains open. If anyone has information about the dog, the owner, or Nash’s movements that afternoon, please come forward.
