Angela Steele was 30 when her body was found on June 4, 1999, inside a burned-out car on Township Road 94 in Marseilles Township, Wyandot County, Ohio. The vehicle was located about half a mile south of a rural forested area. Her husband, Michael Steele, placed a 911 call reporting he had found a badly burned car he believed was his wife; deputies discovered Angela’s remains in the front seat.

Investigators determined the fire had been set intentionally and that the scene had been staged to resemble an accidental crash. The blaze was so intense that an autopsy could not establish a precise cause of death, but authorities ruled the case a homicide based on evidence of arson and the circumstances. Angela’s death left two young daughters without their mother, and the case remains unsolved. The Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation are asking anyone with information to come forward, including tips submitted anonymously through the Attorney General’s Unsolved Homicides Database.

Did anyone in the area in June 1999 notice unusual activity or vehicles near Township Road 94 that could help identify who did this?
