On July 9, 2008, 81-year-old landlord Alyce Seff was found dead inside a decorative well behind one of her rental properties on South High Street in Columbus, Ohio. A father and daughter who investigated a strong odor discovered her body; she had been bound with duct tape, placed upside down, and died from positional asphyxiation. Her remains appeared to have been in the well for several days before discovery.

Investigators eventually focused on handyman Charles Greene, who sometimes worked for Seff. Seff’s phone, credit cards, and her vehicle were found in Greene’s possession; her car was located near his residence and his DNA was identified on the steering wheel. Unauthorized charges on Seff’s card and phone calls from her phone after her death were also linked to Greene. He was arrested in 2015, tried in 2017, and convicted of murder, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping, receiving 15 years to life with concurrent terms for the other counts.

Was anyone in the neighborhood aware of unusual visitors to Seff’s properties in the days before she was found?
