On January 14, 1995, Timothy Sewards, a 32-year-old man, was found dead in Chillicothe, Ohio. His body was discovered by a passerby at approximately 10:25 a.m. in a vacant railroad yard located at the corner of Rose and Main Streets, about 50 feet from East Main Street. The investigation determined that Sewards had been shot twice in the head, and it was believed that he had died the night before.
Timothy Sewards’ homicide remains an unsolved case and is part of the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case investigations. Despite the efforts of local law enforcement, no significant leads have emerged that could help solve the crime. Authorities continue to seek information from the public that might provide new insights into the incident. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has included this case in its statewide cold case database in an effort to generate leads that could help bring justice to Sewards and closure for his family. The BCI works with local agencies to provide visibility to these cold cases, hoping that renewed public interest might lead to the identification of suspects or witnesses.
If anyone has information about the case, they are encouraged to contact the Chillicothe Police Department or submit a tip through the Ohio Attorney General’s office to assist in this ongoing investigation.
