On November 29, 1985, Angelina Matthews, a 33-year-old woman from Columbus, Ohio, was tragically killed in her home on Dunbar Road. The incident occurred while Angelina was on the phone with a family member. During the call, an altercation could be heard, after which the phone abruptly went dead. Shortly afterward, Angelina was found deceased inside her residence.
Authorities determined that the death was the result of a homicide, but specific details regarding the assailant or motive remain unknown.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office, along with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), has listed Angelina's case as an unsolved homicide. Angelina was described as being 5'3" tall, weighing 120 lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes. Despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the case remains open. Officials have appealed to the public for any information that could help solve the case, urging anyone with relevant details to come forward.
The case is one of several unsolved homicides in Ohio that the BCI and local law enforcement agencies hope to resolve by highlighting it through public outreach. This strategy aims to bring greater visibility to these cold cases and increase the chances of new tips or leads emerging that could assist in bringing justice to Angelina's family.
