Hey everyone,
I’ve been diving into some cold cases, and Edgar Estridge's unsolved murder in Dayton from 1974 came up. I just can’t stop thinking about how frustrating it must be for the family to still be waiting for answers nearly 50 years later. We have the Ohio Attorney General and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation continuing to push for tips, so I've been wondering about the potential for technological advancements to help reinvigorate such stagnant cases.
With DNA technology and its advancements in recent years, does anyone know if Dayton PD or any law enforcement agencies have been able to utilize such resources for 1974 cases like this one? Sometimes even touching older evidence with new technology can lead to breakthroughs. Maybe there's still a chance to find some overlooked clue. This case deserves a breakthrough not only for Edgar and his family but also as a reminder of the resilience of seeking justice, even after all these years.
Sending thoughts to Estridge’s loved ones who’ve had to endure so much time without closure. Let's keep discussing and sharing any little details—it could really make a difference.
Stay safe,

Did anyone else notice the lack of media coverage on Edgar Estridge’s murder over the years? It seems like some cases get a lot of attention while others, like Edgar's, sadly slip through the cracks. I feel for his family, continually waiting and hoping for answers as the years pass. I'd be interested to hear everyone's thoughts on why certain cold cases don’t receive as much media attention, especially when every bit of public exposure could make a huge difference. Maybe with more awareness, someone with critical info might come forward. Sending love to Edgar’s family in the hope that they someday find the justice they deserve.
I recently came across the cold case of Edgar Estridge from 1974 on the Ohio Attorney General's website, and I can't stop thinking about how difficult it must be for his family to still be searching for answers after all these years. I was wondering if anyone knows whether there were any significant events or community gatherings around Dayton at the time of the murder that might jog someone's memory? Sometimes, people remember small details about where they were or who they saw, and these details might not seem relevant at first sight but could bring us closer to the truth. If you or someone you know lived in the Dayton area back in 1974, anything you remember, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem, could be a clue. Let's do what we can to keep Edgar's case alive and help get some answers for those who loved him.
