On March 5, 2008, 34-year-old Takisha Maupin was stabbed to death in her apartment at 3418 Reading Road in Cincinnati. Her body and that of 80-year-old James Grafinreed were discovered about 2:30 p.m. by a janitor at Haddon Hall assisted living; investigators estimated both had been dead at least 48 hours. The Cincinnati Police Department described the crime as particularly violent and has released few details publicly.

Maupin was described as having black hair and brown eyes. No suspects have been formally identified, and the relationship between Maupin and Grafinreed remains unclear, although their joint discovery in the same unit suggests they may have known each other. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office lists Maupin’s death among unsolved homicides, and authorities continue to appeal for tips.

Did anyone know Takisha or have information about her contacts or movements in early March 2008?
