Henry David Jenkins, 52, was found murdered in Dayton, Ohio, on May 8, 1981. The killing occurred in Montgomery County at an unknown location in the city, and no arrests have been announced; the case remains unsolved decades later. His body was later interred at Dayton National Cemetery, where the grave is maintained by family and community members.

The Dayton Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have appealed for public assistance, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation lists the case among its cold cases to encourage tips. Little else is publicly documented about what led to Jenkins’s death or about any suspects. If anyone has information about Henry Jenkins, where he was in the days before May 8, 1981, or about suspicious activity in Dayton at that time, please come forward.
