Leo Jordan, 79, was found beaten and dead in Summit Lake in Akron, Ohio, on April 22, 2009. He had left home the morning of April 21 to run errands and did not return; his wife reported him missing that day. The body was recovered at or near 380 West Crosier Avenue and authorities classified the death as a homicide after investigators determined he had been beaten and robbed.

Friends and family said Jordan was full of life and would not have taken his own life; investigators later ruled out suicide when evidence of assault and theft emerged. The case remains unsolved and is listed in the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case database, with the Akron Police Department continuing to ask the public for information that could help identify those responsible.

If anyone knew Leo, saw him in the neighborhood April 21–22, 2009, or has information about activity near 380 West Crosier Avenue or Summit Lake at that time, please contact the Akron Police Department.
