Dorothy Thomas, 27 and an employee at Nu Way Cleaners in Tallahassee, Florida, was found murdered on September 6, 1957. Her body was discovered in the business bathroom by a deliveryman. Reports say she suffered roughly 20 to 36 stab wounds, concentrated on the neck and chest, and evidence indicated she had been dragged from the front of the store to the back before being left there.

Police questioned several suspects at the time. Her husband, Kenneth Thomas, underwent lie detector testing and was released without charge. A customer, Harry Barth, was identified as a primary suspect but was not arrested because investigators lacked sufficient evidence. The case remains officially unsolved and is still listed among Tallahassee’s oldest unsolved murders.

Does anyone have information about Dorothy, Nu Way Cleaners, or the people connected to the case that could help bring new leads?
