Robert Monroe Edwards, a 47-year-old African American man from Allentown, Pennsylvania, was found dead inside a vehicle on the 800 block of North 5th Street on December 25, 2006. He had last been seen at a residence on the same block before his body was discovered, and the circumstances of his death were investigated as a homicide.

The Allentown Police Department’s Cold Case Unit later took up the matter. Despite periodic reviews and ongoing efforts by investigators, no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains open. Family and friends continue to seek answers and justice for Robert Monroe Edwards.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Robert on or shortly before December 25, 2006, or notice anything unusual on that block that day?
