On March 18, 1991, Frank Finch, a 20-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was found fatally shot in his home on South Ohio Avenue. The incident occurred in Franklin County, and Finch was discovered with a gunshot wound. Despite efforts by law enforcement, the case has remained unsolved for decades, with the Columbus Police Department still seeking information that could help identify the perpetrator.
There were no apparent witnesses to the crime, and the case quickly grew cold, leaving investigators with limited leads. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in cooperation with the Columbus Police Department, has continued to publicize the details of Finch’s death, hoping to generate new tips that might help resolve the case. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward, emphasizing the role of community involvement in solving such longstanding cases.
The homicide of Frank Finch remains listed in the Ohio Attorney General's cold case database, part of an ongoing effort by the state to bring visibility to unsolved homicides. The hope is that even after so many years, renewed public awareness could lead to crucial new information that might finally provide some answers and justice for Frank Finch's family.
