On December 22, 1979, Mary B. Moore, aged 47, was tragically killed in Dayton, Ohio. She was found dead at her home in Montgomery County, and the investigation into her homicide was conducted by the Dayton Police Department. Despite ongoing efforts to solve the case, it remains classified as an unsolved homicide. The exact circumstances of her death, including potential suspects or motives, have never been fully established, and law enforcement has continued to seek public assistance in solving
the crime.
Mary Moore's death has been one of the enduring cold cases in the Dayton area, with limited information available about what led to her murder. She was a resident of Dayton, having originally come from Alabama, and her case was significant enough to be highlighted by the Ohio Attorney General's office as part of an effort to generate new leads in unsolved homicides. Moore was laid to rest in Jefferson View Cemetery in Montgomery County, Ohio.
The Dayton community, along with law enforcement, continues to appeal for any tips that could lead to new developments in the investigation. Given the time that has passed since her death, the hope is that someone who might have seen or heard something could now feel comfortable coming forward.
