Nathan Cudgel, 23, was found dead behind 935 S. Ohio Avenue in Columbus on April 28, 1983. His death was attributed to head injuries, but the exact circumstances remain undetermined and no suspect or motive has been established.

The Columbus Police Department investigated the case, which is now listed as a cold case by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Authorities and the Ohio Attorney General’s office have periodically appealed for public assistance and included the case in the BCI cold case database to raise visibility.

Nathan’s family and friends have lacked closure for decades while investigators have continued to seek leads. Does anyone remember seeing Nathan or anything unusual near S. Ohio Avenue in late April 1983?
