On July 5, 2012, authorities discovered the body of a 35-year-old African American female named Evelyn Stewart in Redford, Michigan. The discovery was made at a residence located at 22642 Chicago, a street within the Redford Charter Township which sits adjacent to Detroit. While the incident occurred in Redford, the Detroit Police Department has been listed as the law enforcement agency associated with the investigation, suggesting a cross-jurisdictional involvement or that the case was
processed through Detroit's homicide records.
Evelyn Stewart’s death was ruled a homicide, but details surrounding the specific cause of death were not publicly released in the available case summaries. Investigators processed the scene at the Chicago Road address, yet the circumstances leading up to the murder remained unclear. Despite the collection of information and the existence of the case in cold case databases, no immediate narrative emerged regarding the motive or the events of that summer day.
As of the last available updates from cold case initiatives, including Project Cold Case, the murder of Evelyn Stewart remains unsolved. No suspects have been publicly named, and there are no records of arrests or charges filed in connection with her death. The case is categorized as a cold case with the suspect information listed simply as "unknown," leaving the investigation open but inactive without new leads.
