Leslie Wurm was 24 when he was found dead in his Riverbend apartment at 184 East Market Street in Tiffin, Ohio. His body was discovered on July 18, 1978, several days after he was last seen; investigators believe the killing occurred sometime between July 14 and July 18. Authorities concluded he was likely attacked by an unknown assailant, but no arrests or clear suspects have been identified.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Tiffin Police Department list the case among cold homicides they hope to resolve, and Wurm’s memorial notes the unresolved nature of his death. Few concrete details about the circumstances are public, and the case remains active.

Does anyone have information about Leslie, his apartment building, or that week in July 1978 that could help investigators?
