The Clark County Sheriff’s Office responded and investigated, but there has been no arrest and the case remains unsolved.

The homicide is included among cold cases highlighted by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and has drawn involvement from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities have repeatedly appealed for public tips and used unsolved-homicide outreach and awareness campaigns to try to generate leads.
