Inez J. Childress was 82 when she was found murdered in her Henrico County home at 100 Lowell Street on September 17, 1994. She was discovered in her bathtub; an autopsy determined she had been strangled and drowned and her death was ruled a homicide.

Her killing was later grouped with a series of unsolved slayings of elderly women in the Richmond area between 1990 and 1996 commonly called the Golden Years Murders. Those cases involved women often living alone and targeted while vulnerable. A man named Leslie Leon Burchart confessed to the murders of four other elderly women but was never linked by physical evidence to Childress’s death, and no arrests have been made in her case.

Who knew Inez, lived near 100 Lowell Street in 1994, or has any information that could help close this case?
