Luellen Gadson, 53, was found shot to death on April 6, 1981, in Wildwood, Florida. Her death was ruled a homicide and investigators described the discovery as consistent with a targeted attack, but the exact motive remains unclear.

Initial local investigations produced no suspects and the case grew cold. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office keeps the case open in its cold case files and is asking anyone with information to come forward. No leads or witnesses have been identified publicly, and the lack of information has prevented progress toward solving the killing.

Did anyone in Wildwood in 1981 have information about Gadson or the circumstances that could help investigators now?
