Vicki Waters, aged 42, was tragically killed on October 12, 2001, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred at 1278 Quebec Road, the residence of Frank Drees, who was also a victim in this double homicide. On the night of their deaths, Vicki and Frank had been out at a local bar enjoying themselves when they were confronted by Vicki's ex-boyfriend, which led to a heated argument. The situation was eventually diffused, and the ex-boyfriend was kicked out of the establishment.

Later that night, Vicki and Frank were reportedly heading back to Frank's residence, having asked a friend for a ride home. However, they decided to leave without waiting for their ride, and soon after their arrival at Frank's home, they were attacked. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots, and Vicki and Frank were found shot on the front porch of the house. Frank died on the spot, while Vicki was transported to the hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries after being placed on life support. The details of the shooting suggest that Frank was targeted first, followed by Vicki.

Despite ongoing investigations, this case remains unsolved. Authorities have reached out to the community for any information that might lead to the identification of the assailant. The Cincinnati Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General's Office are still seeking leads to provide justice for Vicki Waters and Frank Drees. Their tragic deaths highlight the dangers of domestic violence and the impact of unresolved conflicts. Community members are urged to contact Crime Stoppers or law enforcement with any relevant information that could help solve this cold case.
