Emmett Moore was 47 when his body was found in Akron, Ohio, on April 7, 1995. He was discovered in a canal near the intersection of River Street and South Case Avenue, and investigators say he had been severely beaten before his death. The Akron Police Department investigated, but the case remains unsolved and is listed in the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case database.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is publicizing the case to generate new leads and is asking anyone with information to contact the Akron Police Department or BCI. Even a small detail might be significant in moving the investigation forward.

If anyone knew Emmett, was in that part of Akron in early April 1995, or has information that could help, please come forward to the Akron Police Department or the BCI.
