On November 20, 1981 James Allen, a 44-year-old clerk at Portage News, an adult bookstore in Streetsboro, Ohio, was beaten and stabbed to death at 9291 State Route 14. The attacker stole cash from the register and coins from the video machines, and Allen’s car was taken from the scene then later found abandoned about a mile away.

Despite those clues, the motive remains unclear and the case is unsolved. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Streetsboro Police Department or the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Did anyone in the area at the time notice suspicious activity around that address or see a vehicle abandoned nearby on or shortly after November 20, 1981?
