A body was found in the Mad River near the 2300 block of Dayton Road in Springfield, Ohio, on June 10, 2008. The victim was identified by dental and medical records as Angela Lee Hanaway, age 35. She was partially clothed and badly decomposed, and the autopsy concluded she had suffered a violent death; the exact date of death could not be fixed, only that she had been in the water for some time.

Hanaway was a Springfield native born October 31, 1972, and obituaries and memorial pages record surviving family and community remembrance. The recovery site was just west of the U.S. Route 68 overpass; investigators note the condition of the remains and the river’s effects limited immediate answers. Authorities say there have been no arrests and no viable suspects publicly identified, and the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case listing is asking for information.

If anyone knew Angela, saw her in Springfield around that time, or has information about activity along the Mad River near Dayton Road, please come forward.
