On the evening of July 18, 1997, Kenneth Lawrence Tatar, 27, was found dead in the living room of his family’s home on Route 219 in Ashford, New York. His parents, Andrew Sr. and Shirley Tatar, discovered him seated in a chair at about 10:22 p.m. after being out for the evening. He had suffered multiple shotgun wounds.

Investigators determined Kenneth was last seen alive at 5:30 p.m. that day. Detectives reported no signs of forced entry, no obvious struggle in the house, and no property missing, which has left motive unclear and led detectives to consider that he may have known his assailant. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been made, and the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office keeps the investigation open.

Does anyone who lived in or traveled through Ashford on July 18, 1997, remember seeing Kenneth or anything unusual that evening?
