On August 28, 1987, Charles Potter, a 40-year-old man, was fatally stabbed in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred in the vicinity of 1100 Gilbert Avenue. On the day of his death, Potter had been at the Greyhound bus station, reportedly traveling from Illinois to North Carolina. It is believed that the homicide took place after he left the bus station and proceeded to the area where he was ultimately found.
Potter's case remains unsolved, and it has been classified as a cold case by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). Despite efforts from local law enforcement and public appeals for information, no viable leads have been reported that could identify the perpetrator. The Cincinnati Police Department, with the support of the Ohio Attorney General's Office, continues to seek public assistance in solving this case. Investigators hope that renewed attention may provide the critical clues needed to bring justice to Charles Potter and his loved ones. The BCI maintains a database of unsolved homicides like Potter's in an effort to bring widespread visibility and encourage public participation in solving these cold cases.
