Robert Spohn, 69, was found dead in the garage of his Columbus home at 1232 East Livingston Avenue on November 14, 1969. He had several puncture wounds around his left eye and forehead and was pronounced dead at the scene. Coroner’s findings indicate he fought his attacker and likely survived for several hours after the assault before dying of severe head injuries.

Spohn was attacked while exiting his car in the garage. His wallet was missing and his back pocket appeared ripped, pointing to robbery as a possible motive, but the exact motive remains unknown. No suspect has been identified and the case remains unsolved. The Columbus Police Department and other agencies continue to seek information, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office lists the homicide among unsolved cases.
