Heidi Hall, 30, was found dead in her San Diego apartment on Ohio Street on July 11, 1997. Neighbors had not seen her for several days, and a landlord entered to check on her well-being. She was discovered in bed, already in an advanced state of decomposition, and investigators determined she had been strangled.

Hall lived alone and worked part-time as an exotic dancer. Police found no immediate suspect and no known witnesses; the investigation produced few leads. The case was classified as a homicide and became one of San Diego’s unsolved cold cases from the 1990s. The San Diego Police Department has appealed to the public and asked anyone with information to contact the San Diego Cold Case Team.

If anyone knew Heidi, her routines, acquaintances, or saw anything unusual near her apartment in the days before July 11, 1997, please contact the San Diego Cold Case Team.
