Mary A Szatkowski, 57, was found dead in Chicago on May 1, 2007. Her death is listed as a homicide and remains unsolved.

Mary’s case is presented alongside other murders of women in Chicago from that period, some involving strangulation, which raised questions at the time about whether a serial offender was operating across neighborhoods. Her death is among the cold cases that have highlighted broader concerns about gender-based violence and resource gaps for protecting vulnerable residents.

If anyone knew Mary, saw her in the days before May 1, 2007, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
