On May 21, 1986, Claudette McNary, a 31-year-old woman from Dayton, Ohio, was brutally murdered. Her body was found in a garage at 206 North Summit, Dayton, covered in trash. Claudette had been stabbed, and the details of her death were shocking to the local community. The incident occurred in Montgomery County, and law enforcement, led by the Dayton Police Department, has classified it as an unsolved homicide.
Despite efforts over the years, this case remains open, and investigators continue to seek information that might lead to identifying the person responsible for this crime.
Claudette's death left behind a grieving family. According to available memorial records, she was survived by her children, including a son named Quentin and two daughters, Amber and Charlene. Claudette's family has sought justice for decades, but the case remains a mystery. The Ohio Attorney General's office has listed her murder among unsolved homicides, encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
