Kathryn Kathy Menendez was 17 when she went missing from Alliance, Ohio on August 20, 1994. Her body was found August 25 on an oil well road off Fewtown Road near the Berlin Reservoir in Portage County. She was discovered unclothed and investigators determined she had been strangled, stabbed, and bludgeoned. Authorities believe she may have been killed elsewhere and moved to the discovery site, and her clothing was never recovered.

Kathryn’s death is being investigated alongside other unsolved homicides in the area, including 14-year-old Sarah Rae Boehm, whose body was found about half a mile away. The FBI and local law enforcement from Ohio and Pennsylvania have worked together; Kathryn’s body was exhumed in recent years for modern forensic testing but no suspect has been identified. Anyone with information that could help investigators is urged to contact the Alliance Police Department or the FBI.
