Eva Renne Lowery, aged 43, was found dead on September 28, 2008, in Columbus, Ohio. Her body was discovered in a dumpster behind a residence on Manchester Avenue on the city's north side. A man looking for recyclables in the dumpster noticed a foul odor, leading to the discovery of the body. After an investigation, the authorities used fingerprints to identify the deceased as Eva Lowery.
The Franklin County Coroner determined that Eva died from blunt force trauma to the head and also suffered from stab wounds and a neck injury. Investigators believe she was both beaten and stabbed before being placed in the dumpster. Her family, including her son Richard Garrison and her sister Nina Stevens, expressed deep shock and grief over her death. They recalled that Eva was a kind-hearted individual, but her trusting nature, particularly towards men, may have made her vulnerable to harm.
Eva Lowery's homicide remains unsolved, and the Columbus Police Department has continued to appeal for information that could help solve the case. Family members have voiced suspicions about potential individuals involved, though no official suspects have been identified publicly. The Ohio Attorney General's office has included Eva's case in its list of unsolved homicides, and authorities are still seeking tips from the community to find justice for Eva and her family.
