Russell Benedict was found dead in Dayton, Ohio, on November 24, 1976. Montgomery County authorities and the Dayton Police Department investigated his death and determined it to be a homicide. The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which continues to publicize unsolved homicides in hopes of gathering tips. Local agencies and BCI are asking anyone with information to contact them so investigators can pursue leads and Benedict’s family can receive answers.

Does anyone have information about Russell Benedict or recall anything from Dayton in late November 1976 that might help investigators?
