On June 12, 1974, five-year-old Angela Tucker died in a deliberately set fire at 1525 Pleasant Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. Firefighters found her body in the building after responding to the blaze, and investigators ruled the fire an act of arson. The Cincinnati Police Department treats the case as an unsolved homicide.

Investigators faced few leads from the beginning, and despite extensive efforts the responsible party has not been identified. The Ohio Attorney General’s office lists Angela’s death among cold cases and is seeking tips through its Unsolved Homicides Database. Angela’s family and the community continue to hope for answers and justice.

If anyone has information about the fire or knew Angela or the neighborhood at that time, please contact law enforcement or submit a tip to the Ohio Attorney General’s Unsolved Homicides Database.
