Ann Bowlby was 21 when she was found shot to death at her home on State Route 668 in New Straitsville, Ohio. The discovery came on January 4, 1987; the shooting likely occurred sometime between January 3 and January 4. She was found face down on the living room floor by her sister and brother-in-law.

The Perry County Sheriff’s Office ruled the death a homicide. The case has remained open and unsolved for decades, with no known suspects or arrests. The Ohio Attorney General’s cold case initiative is assisting and law enforcement is asking anyone with information to contact the Perry County Sheriff’s Office or the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s cold case database.

Did anyone in the New Straitsville area around January 1987 have information that could help resolve this case?
