On February 19, 1982, 19-year-old Deanne Campbell and 29-year-old Richard Boyd were found shot to death in a duplex on Woodsedge Court in northeast Columbus, Ohio. Both victims had gunshot wounds to the head. The home showed no signs of forced entry or burglary, and Campbell’s late-model Pontiac Trans-Am was parked outside with front and rear damage.

Boyd worked as a maintenance man for the realty company that owned the duplex; Campbell was a Bliss College student and a freelance model. Investigators identified connections between the two victims and a man named Roy Howard Sage, an acquaintance of both. Sage later figured in a separate murder and attempted suicide, prompting questions about his potential role in the Woodsedge Court killings, but he was never charged in this case.

The double homicide drew substantial media attention in the 1980s and remains unsolved. The Columbus Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. If any readers knew Deanne or Richard, or have tips about that February 1982 night, please contact investigators.
