Roberta Tandarich, 34, of Akron, Ohio, was found deceased in a wooded area of Firestone Metro Park in October 1991. Her body was severely decomposed, and at the time authorities could not determine an exact cause of death. Family members long suspected foul play but had no definitive proof.

Decades later Samuel Little confessed to strangling Tandarich in September 1991 and said he disposed of her body in the park. Little’s confession gave Tandarich’s family the confirmation they had sought, and Akron detectives planned to meet with the Summit County Medical Examiner to re-examine the case. It remained unclear whether charges would be filed against Little, who was already serving three consecutive life sentences in California.

Does anyone have memories, photos, or information about Roberta’s life in Akron or about the investigation around Firestone Metro Park in 1991 that could help piece together what happened?
