Marshall Padgett, a 44-year-old Caucasian man, was found dead inside his apartment on 19th Avenue in Fairbanks on October 5, 2004. Police immediately classified the death as a homicide caused by intentional injuries suffered inside the small residence he had only recently begun to call home.

Padgett had moved to Fairbanks that summer after spending most of his years in Florida. Investigators sealed the doorway and worked to piece together the timeline of his final hours, but few public details about method or motive were released. No arrests were announced and authorities did not publicly identify any suspects. The case has been listed among Fairbanks cold cases and remained open as investigators periodically renewed appeals for anyone who knew Padgett or was in the area of 19th Avenue around the time of the killing to come forward.

Does anyone have memories, contacts, or details about Padgett’s time in Fairbanks or the neighborhood near 19th Avenue that could help advance the investigation?
