Eugene Campbell, 50, was murdered during a home invasion in Mantua, Philadelphia, in January 2008. Two men forced their way into the Melon Street house where Eugene lived with his wife Geraldine and their 9-year-old granddaughter, attempting a robbery that escalated into prolonged and extreme violence. Eugene, who had a pacemaker and kidney disease, was tortured with boiling water, hot oil, a telephone cord, and a hammer before one of the intruders shot him in the back. He died on the kitchen floor; Geraldine and the child were held hostage for part of the attack and witnessed elements of the crime.

The robbers took about $60, the couple’s wedding rings, and some prescription medication. Geraldine repeatedly sketched a suspect she described as having squinty eyes, large ears, a cropped beard, and a jagged scar on his right cheek, but no arrests were made and the case went cold. Does anyone have information about that day or recognize the suspect description?
