On October 3, 1981, Oscar Logan, a 56-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was found dead behind a house located on Gray Street. Logan’s body was discovered in tall grass, and it was determined that he died from brain damage. The details surrounding his death remain unclear, and no suspects have been publicly identified, which has left the case unsolved for decades. The Columbus Police Department has classified Logan's death as a homicide, but so far, there have been no breakthroughs in identifying the perpetrators.
Logan's case is one of many unsolved homicides highlighted by the Ohio Attorney General's Office. By including it in the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s (BCI) cold case initiative, officials hope to generate leads through increased public visibility. The BCI provides resources and visibility to cold cases like Logan's in an attempt to assist local law enforcement agencies and encourage the community to contribute information. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Oscar Logan's death to come forward, as even the smallest tip could be crucial to solving the case.
