On August 7, 1992, Ronald Vargo, a 26-year-old white man, was found deceased in Columbus, Ohio. His body was located in an area west of 4545 Fisher Road in Franklin County. An investigation determined that Mr. Vargo had been the victim of a homicide, having sustained fatal head wounds.
The Columbus Police Department launched an investigation into the killing. Detectives worked the scene and pursued leads, but their efforts did not result in an immediate breakthrough. The initial phase of the investigation concluded without identifying a suspect or making an arrest in the case.
In the more than thirty years that have since passed, the homicide of Ronald Vargo has grown cold. No one has ever been charged in connection with his death, and the case remains a painful, unanswered question. The Ohio Attorney General's Office officially lists the case among the state's unsolved homicides.
The investigation remains open but is inactive pending new information. Law enforcement agencies continue to seek assistance from the public that could help provide a resolution after so many years of silence. Anyone with additional information or questions regarding the death of Ronald Vargo is encouraged to submit a tip.
