Carletta Roberts, 21, was found beaten to death on December 14, 1991, at the rear of 320 Kinnard Avenue in Dayton, Ohio. Her killing was one of a cluster of similar homicides in the Dayton area in the late 1980s and early 1990s that targeted several women; Tina Marie Ivery was found three days after Roberts and Sonya Snowden was discovered around the same time, and all three victims had been beaten, prompting investigators to consider the cases possibly linked.

Authorities investigated these deaths as part of a broader inquiry into multiple unsolved prostitute homicides from that period. Investigators intended to interview a former police officer, Tommy Swint, as a suspect in these homicides; Swint had been questioned about other similar unsolved cases but committed suicide before the investigation could proceed, leaving questions about his possible involvement. The Dayton Police Department and other agencies have kept Carletta’s case open and the Ohio Attorney General’s office continues to seek information that might help solve it.

Does anyone who knew Carletta or was in Dayton in December 1991 have information that could help the investigation?
