On May 14, 2000, Michelli Wilson, age 37, was tragically murdered in her home on Bell Street in Barberton, Ohio. The Barberton Police Department responded to the scene after Wilson’s daughter discovered her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Edward Rhodes, both lying dead on a bed. The victims had been shot, and both died from gunshot wounds. It was determined that Wilson and Rhodes were last seen alive approximately twenty hours before their bodies were found.
The case remains unsolved, and the Barberton Police Department, along with the Ohio Attorney General’s office, continues to seek any information that might help solve the double homicide. The authorities have requested that anyone with potential information about the crime come forward, as even small details might help bring justice to Michelli Wilson and Edward Rhodes. Those with information can contact the Bureau of Criminal Investigation or submit tips anonymously to assist in advancing the investigation.
