Helen Truitt was 73 when she was murdered on March 5, 1974, in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. The Dayton Police Department led the investigation, but the case remains unsolved and is treated as a cold case.

Truitt is buried at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens in New Carlisle, Clark County, and her death is recorded in memorials such as Find A Grave. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office has included her homicide on lists of unsolved killings and continues to seek tips from the public in hopes of generating new leads.

Does anyone have information about Helen Truitt, her last known movements, or contacts from Dayton in early March 1974?
