Joseph Horvath was 47 when his body was found on August 7, 1981, on North Walnut Street in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. Authorities determined his death to be a homicide and believe he was fatally attacked elsewhere before his body was left in that area. The Dayton Police Department investigated the case and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been involved; the investigation remains open.

Investigators continue to seek new leads and are asking the public for any information, no matter how small. Tips can be submitted through the Ohio Attorney General’s Office or directly to the Dayton Police. Does anyone have information about Horvath, his last movements, or who might have been responsible?
