Joseph Mullins, known as Little Joe, was reported missing from his home on Infirmary Road in Ravenna, Ohio, on December 19, 2014. He was 57 when he disappeared; his wife returned around 9:30 PM that night and found signs that he had been home but he was gone. Family and friends could not reach him.

Investigators found blood near the detached garage and on a bedspread in the master bedroom, though no items appeared missing or otherwise disturbed. Ten days later, on December 29, 2014, Mullins’ body was recovered in Cleveland’s warehouse district; the cause of death was blunt force trauma. The Portage County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek information from anyone who might help resolve this homicide and bring answers to Mullins’ family.

If anyone knew Joseph, saw him in Ravenna or downtown Cleveland that week in December 2014, or has any information, please contact the authorities.
