James Stiers, 57, was found dead in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 27, 2016; his death was classified as a homicide. The case remains open and listed by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation as an unsolved homicide. Investigators have not identified viable suspects, and no forensic evidence has definitively pointed to a perpetrator. Stiers’s inclusion in BCI’s database is part of a wider effort to draw attention to cold cases across Ohio and to encourage public tips. Authorities say they continue to pursue leads and hope that renewed visibility and community outreach will produce information to move the investigation forward.

If anyone knew James Stiers or has information about his death, investigators welcome contact from the public.
