Jackie Simpson, 33, of Toledo, Ohio, was killed in 2003 and later identified as one of several women murdered in Northwest Ohio between 2000 and 2005. Investigators tied her death to Dellmus Colvin, who targeted vulnerable women, including those struggling with addiction. Simpson and Melissa Weber were among the victims named in that pattern.

Colvin admitted in 2006 to killing five women, including Jackie Simpson, as part of a plea deal in which prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty. He was convicted and is serving life imprisonment at the Toledo Correctional Institution, with a parole ineligibility date of 2072. Simpson’s death underscores the risks faced by marginalized women and the need for attention to those vulnerabilities.

If anyone knew Jackie Simpson or has information about her life in Toledo before 2003, please share what you know.
