Susan Denoma was 25 when she was murdered in Cincinnati on May 19, 1982. She was last seen that evening after going out with a coworker; her body was discovered the following day at 5490 Beechmont Avenue. The coroner’s report described both stabbing and strangulation, and the scene was in a residential area, indicating a brutal attack.

The Cincinnati Police Department continues to investigate the case, which remains unsolved. Authorities have at times explored a possible connection to another crime, but no conclusive breakthrough or arrest has been reported. The Ohio Attorney General’s office has included Denoma’s case among unsolved homicides in hopes of generating leads.

Anyone who knew Susan, saw her on May 19, 1982, or has information about activities around Beechmont Avenue that night is asked to come forward.
