Charles Sharp, 29, was reported missing from Chillicothe, Ohio, on June 19, 1993 after last being seen at his home on East Second Street by a relative. His decomposed remains were found more than four months later, on October 31, 1993, in a wooded area off Reub Hill Road in southwestern Ross County.

Investigators determined Sharp had been killed by at least three gunshot wounds to the head; the condition of the body and the remote recovery location meant significant time had passed before discovery, complicating evidence collection. The Ross County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have kept the homicide under investigation and have included it among unsolved cases.

Anyone who knew Charles, observed unusual activity around East Second Street or Reub Hill Road in mid-1993, or has information that could help is asked to contact law enforcement.
