Eva Lowery, 43, was found dead on September 28, 2008, in a dumpster behind a house on Manchester Avenue on Columbus’s north side. A man searching for bottles noticed a foul odor, alerted police, and the dumpster was taken to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office, which confirmed her identity. The coroner ruled the death a homicide, citing head trauma from blunt force and injuries to the neck.

The Columbus Police Department investigated the killing and the Ohio Attorney General’s office has since listed it among unsolved homicides. No suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains open as investigators and Lowery’s family seek answers.

If anyone has information about Eva Lowery, her last movements in Columbus, or the dumpster location on Manchester Avenue, contact the Columbus Police or the Ohio Attorney General’s tip line.
