On October 6, 2016, 30-year-old Lindsey Leigh Maccabee was found dead and unclothed along Lake Road just south of Pleasantville Road in rural Fairfield County, Ohio. Her body was discovered by a passerby with no personal belongings nearby; the death was ruled a homicide and the person responsible remains unknown. Lindsey lived in the southern part of Columbus and was known to frequent Parsons Avenue. She was struggling with addiction at the time of her death.

Lindsey’s killing occurred less than a month before 25-year-old Danielle Greene was found under similar circumstances in Violet Township. The two women, both mothers who had known each other while living in South Columbus, were found in isolated locations roughly 30 miles from where they lived. Authorities have noted similarities in disposal and background and have explored possible links. A registered sex offender, Edwin Zimmerman, was briefly considered because he mentioned both women but was later ruled out.

Anyone with information about Lindsey’s death is asked to contact the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office; tips may be given anonymously.
