Alissa Clere, a 40-year-old woman, was found dead on April 18, 2007, in a remote area of southern Franklin County, Ohio. Her body was discovered by a quarry worker off Rowe Road, and it was clear that she had suffered a violent death. Alissa had been beaten and stabbed, and her body was then set on fire in what appeared to be an attempt to destroy evidence. This act of violence left investigators searching for clues in an effort to piece together her final days.
Alissa was last seen alive on April 16, 2007, in the area of Cleveland Avenue and Melrose Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. The details of her activities between the time she was last seen and when her body was found are still unknown, and investigators are actively seeking information from anyone who may have had contact with her during this time. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office has kept her case open, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has featured her case in their unsolved homicide database to increase public visibility and encourage tips from the community.
The authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Alissa's movements or the events leading to her death to come forward. Her homicide remains a challenging and unsolved case, with law enforcement hoping that someone might provide the key detail needed to bring those responsible to justice and offer closure to her family and loved ones.
