Mary Jo Peyton was 21 when she was murdered on July 3, 1984, in Cleveland, Ohio. According to later confessions, Samuel Little met Peyton at a bar on Cleveland’s East Side near East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue, drove her to an abandoned factory, strangled her, and disposed of her body by throwing it down a stairwell. Peyton’s death remained unsolved for decades until Little’s admissions provided investigators with the details necessary to link him to her killing.

Samuel Little later said he began killing in 1970 and continued into the 2000s, often using strangulation. In 2019 he was indicted in connection with Peyton’s murder and, in August 2019, pleaded guilty to the murders of Peyton and another Cleveland woman, Rose Evans. Prosecutors charged Little with multiple counts of aggravated murder and kidnapping tied to those cases, and his confessions helped resolve numerous cold cases across the country.

Did anyone who knew Mary Jo or who was in that East 105th and Euclid Avenue area on July 3, 1984, see or hear anything that might help fill gaps in her timeline?
