Nelson Peel, 53, and his younger brother Rodney Peel, 51, were found dead inside their Columbus home at 1812 Bucher Street after a welfare check on December 31, 2015. Both men were unresponsive when officers arrived and their deaths were classified as homicides. One body was reported slumped in a chair in the middle room on the first floor; few other scene details have been released.

The welfare check had been requested by someone close to the brothers who was concerned for their safety. Authorities have not publicly named any suspects or released a motive. The case was counted among Columbus’s 99 homicides for 2015 and is now treated as a cold case, though investigators say the matter remains under active investigation and are asking the public for information.

If anyone knew Nelson or Rodney, saw activity at 1812 Bucher Street around December 31, 2015, or has information that could help, please contact the Columbus Police Department or the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
