Daniel Kendall, 33, was found bludgeoned to death inside his trailer at 3237 McKinley Avenue, Lot 13, in Columbus, Ohio, on July 24, 1986. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office classified the death as a homicide. Kendall was a local resident who frequented area gay bars, a detail investigators have noted as potentially relevant to how he came to be killed.

The case remains unsolved and open. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information to come forward; efforts to generate visibility, including attention from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, aim to bring new tips. If anyone knew Daniel, his routines, contacts, or movements around July 1986, or remembers anything about Lot 13 at that time, law enforcement would welcome that information.
