Veda Dodd, 48, was found dead on July 1, 2008, in her South Shore apartment in Chicago, Illinois. The circumstances of her death are described as unclear and her murder remains unsolved. Reports place her death among a number of unresolved homicides from that period; public details about suspects, motive, and specifics are scarce.

Dodd had been arrested earlier that year in Los Angeles, a detail noted in accounts of her background, but her death in Chicago occurred under different circumstances. The case received little media attention, and family and community members have been left with few answers.

If anyone knew Veda Dodd, lived in South Shore in 2008, or has information about her death, please share what you know with investigators.
