Hildeburn Martin was 72 when he was found shot to death inside his home at 2756 S. High Street in Columbus, Ohio, on August 22, 1972. He had been killed with a .38 caliber handgun and his residence had been thoroughly ransacked, according to the case account. The Columbus Police Department investigated but no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office has included Martin’s homicide on its list of unsolved killings to help generate new leads. Authorities continue to ask anyone with information about the August 22, 1972 killing to come forward — even the smallest tip could be significant. Did anyone in Columbus at the time have information about Martin, his home, or unusual activity on that date?
