On December 18, 1989, Shirley Pearson-Divens, aged 51, was tragically killed at her residence on Bellwood Court in Columbus, Ohio. Her body was found with multiple stab wounds to the neck and throat. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene, but despite efforts to solve the case, it remains unsolved. The motive behind the killing has not been clearly identified, and there have been no arrests made in connection with her death.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has highlighted Pearson-Divens' case as an unsolved homicide in hopes of generating new leads. The BCI works closely with local law enforcement to bring visibility to such cold cases, soliciting tips from the public that might help in solving them. They continue to urge anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist in the investigation, which would bring justice to Pearson-Divens' family and a sense of closure after all these years.
Anyone with additional information about the case is encouraged to reach out to the Columbus Police Department or the Ohio BCI. Their combined efforts remain crucial in trying to solve such cases and in providing answers to the loved ones left behind.
