On May 8, 1981, Henry David Jenkins, aged 52, was found murdered in Dayton, Ohio. The incident took place in Montgomery County, and his death remains an unsolved homicide. Jenkins was killed at an unknown location in the city, and the case has been open for decades without any arrests or significant leads. The Dayton Police Department, along with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, continues to appeal for public assistance in gathering information that could lead to resolving this tragic case.
Jenkins' body was later laid to rest in Dayton National Cemetery, where his grave has been maintained and memorialized by his family and community. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has listed his case among its cold cases to encourage individuals with any potential information to come forward. Authorities are hopeful that with increased public awareness, someone with knowledge of the events leading up to Jenkins' death might provide a tip that could finally bring justice to his family.
