Ernest Taylor, 66, was found stabbed to death inside his apartment at the Royal Towers in Kansas City on October 10, 1993. Investigators initially focused on a fellow resident, Clifton Ray, who had moved into the building not long before several residents began dying.

Ray was charged in 1994 with second-degree murder in Taylor’s death. Police records showed Ray had sold Taylor’s television to a pawn shop, a fact prosecutors cited as linking him to the victim. Those charges were later dismissed and no conviction was obtained in Taylor’s case.

Clifton Ray was later convicted in other killings, but Ernest Taylor’s murder remains officially unresolved. Does anyone have information about Taylor, the Royal Towers, or events around October 1993 that could help bring clarity to this cold case?
