Teresa Wilson was 27 when she was found dead on July 3, 1982, at an apartment at 61 East Henderson Street in Columbus, Ohio. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene; the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

The Columbus Police Department, working with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, has classified the death as a cold case homicide. Authorities say no viable leads have emerged that conclusively identify a suspect or a motive, and the case remains unsolved. The BCI has included Teresa’s case in statewide databases as part of efforts to bring attention to unsolved homicides.

Anyone with information, however minor, that could help identify a suspect or explain what happened on July 3, 1982, is asked to contact the appropriate law enforcement offices.
