Elizabeth Lockett’s body was found on October 19, 1984, on the roof of a garage in the 600 block of I Street NW in Washington, D.C. The Metropolitan Police Department treated the discovery as a homicide and opened an investigation. The location—a secluded garage rooftop—led investigators to believe the person responsible might have been familiar with the neighborhood, and detectives canvassed the area for witnesses and evidence.

At the time, investigators hoped forensic evidence would yield leads, but the case eventually went cold. There have been no publicly identified suspects or arrests, and the MPD continues to list the death as an unsolved homicide. Few eyewitnesses and minimal physical evidence have been cited as major obstacles.

If anyone knew Elizabeth, frequented that block in 1984, or has information about activity around the garage rooftop that October, please come forward.
