On June 1, 1992, the body of Roberta Poirier was discovered in a field in Vandalia, Ohio, by construction workers who were preparing to excavate. The discovery was a grim one—Roberta's body was found unclothed, and an autopsy later revealed that she had been suffocated. The location of her body and the state in which it was found pointed to a possible homicide, though investigators at the time struggled to gather enough evidence to identify any suspects.
The case remains unsolved, and her family is still waiting for answers about who was responsible for her death.
Roberta Poirier's case has since been included in the Ohio Attorney General’s database of unsolved homicides, where it continues to be highlighted in the hope that someone might come forward with new information. The authorities, including the Vandalia Police Department and other law enforcement partners, have solicited tips from the public, emphasizing the need for any information, no matter how small, that could lead to the resolution of this case. To this day, they remain committed to finding justice for Roberta and her family. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Miami Valley Crime Stoppers or the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to assist in the ongoing investigation.
