John Byrd was 61 when he was found stabbed to death in his Cincinnati home on April 20, 1979. The killing occurred at his residence at 3585 Antwerp in Hamilton County, and the Cincinnati Police Department has handled the investigation.

Despite ongoing work over the years, limited leads have emerged and the case remains unsolved. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to highlight late 1970s cold cases, including Byrd’s, and are inviting tips through the Attorney General’s platform.

The circumstances of the murder have not been fully clarified. Can anyone with information about John Byrd, his home on Antwerp, or that time in Cincinnati contact the investigators?
