Howard Pancake, 64, was shot to death on March 2, 1973, in Montgomery County. The Dayton Police Department investigated the killing; the exact motive and circumstances around the shooting remain unclear and no suspects have been arrested. Howard Leroy Pancake was born November 23, 1908, and had lived in the Rainsboro area before moving to Dayton, where he spent his later years and was remembered as having deep community ties. The case is listed in Ohio’s unsolved homicide database and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is asking the public for tips to help solve the crime.

Did anyone who knew Howard or who lived in Dayton or Rainsboro in the early 1970s have information that could help investigators?
