John Kemp, 40, was found shot to death on November 3, 1974, in Gainesville, Florida. His body was discovered by local children lying at the front of his 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass in a wooded area now known as the Blueberry Farm. Investigators classified the death as a homicide and the case has remained unsolved.

At the time, limited forensic technology, a lack of witnesses, and sparse evidence collected at the scene hindered the investigation and led the case to go cold. Gainesville authorities list Kemp’s killing among more than a hundred unsolved homicides from past decades; the Gainesville Police Department has since created a Cold Case Unit to reexamine old files and pursue any leads.

If anyone remembers seeing a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass or has information about the Blueberry Farm area around November 1974, please contact the Gainesville Police Department.
