Amy Jo Nelson, 39, was found dead in her Main Street apartment in New Straitsville, Ohio, on September 18, 2017. Her death was first believed to be a drug overdose, but an autopsy determined otherwise: the coroner found blunt force trauma to her head inconsistent with a simple fall, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Amy was a mother and active community member. Her family — including her mother Pam Nelson and sister Abbie Vann — have pushed for answers, speaking to witnesses, conducting their own inquiries and offering a reward. They created an initiative called Amy’s Gift of Hope to preserve her memory and draw attention to the case. The New Straitsville Police Department and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to investigate.

Who in New Straitsville might have seen or heard anything around September 18, 2017 that could help bring Amy’s killers to justice?
