Marcia Piotter, 36, was found murdered on December 14, 1987, after last being seen leaving the Bingo Hall at St. Martha’s Church on Tallmadge Avenue in Akron. Her car was located the next day at the rear of 58 North Pershing Avenue; Marcia was discovered inside the vehicle with multiple stab wounds.

Her death was one of a series of unsolved homicides in Akron during the latter half of 1987 that also included women such as Janice Christensen and Joann Bartholomew. The Akron Police Department and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to seek information, and no significant leads or suspects have been reported in Marcia’s case.

If anyone has information about Marcia, her movements that night, or the area around North Pershing Avenue and Tallmadge Avenue in December 1987, please come forward to help provide closure for her family.
