On August 8, 1996, 41-year-old Thelma Gebert of Springfield, Ohio, was reported missing after leaving for a walk following an argument with her boyfriend. Her body was later found in Buck Creek near Sherman Avenue; investigators documented trauma, including bruising to the head and neck, and determined her death to be a homicide. The Springfield Police Department is the lead agency on the case, with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation listing the case among unsolved homicides and seeking public assistance.

Authorities have appealed for tips and stressed that even small details could be important to resolving the case and providing closure for Gebert’s family. Does anyone have information about Thelma’s movements that day or recollections from the Sherman Avenue area on August 8, 1996?
