Phillip Conover was 48 when he was shot to death at his Cincinnati, Ohio, home on August 6, 1989. He had been seen earlier that day walking his dog and was found shortly afterward at his residence in Hamilton County. The Cincinnati Police Department has led the investigation since the murder and the case remains unsolved.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Cincinnati Police have highlighted Conover’s case as part of a broader effort to draw attention to cold homicides from the late 1980s. Despite outreach and public appeals, investigators say no viable leads have been developed that would solve this killing. Authorities continue to ask anyone with information to come forward in hopes of providing answers for the family and advancing the investigation.

If anyone knew Phillip, saw him on August 6, 1989, or has information about his movements or that neighborhood at the time, please contact the Cincinnati Police Department.
