On January 15, 1973, five-year-old Scott Buck was found dead with his mother, 26-year-old Gloria Buck, and his six-year-old sister Tracy in the family home on Arthur Avenue in Harrison Township, near Dayton, Ohio. A neighbor discovered the three victims inside the house; the scene suggested a violent attack that investigators have described as a likely home invasion. Scott’s father, Jack Buck, was not at the house—he was returning from a hunting trip when the bodies were found.

Despite investigations by local law enforcement, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, no arrests or identified suspects have emerged. The case remains one of the oldest unsolved homicides in the Dayton area. Anyone who has information about the Buck family killings or who may recall unusual activity around Arthur Avenue in mid-January 1973 is asked to come forward. What details might someone remember that could help finally resolve this case?
