On April 30, 1979, Geraldine Pride, a 30-year-old woman, was found murdered in her Cincinnati residence on Dana Avenue. According to reports, she suffered a brutal beating that led to her death. Despite initial investigations, her case remains unsolved and is included in Ohio's list of cold cases, where it is periodically revisited by law enforcement with hopes of finding new leads. Pride’s murder has left her family and the community seeking justice for over four decades.
The Cincinnati Police Department, supported by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward. Cases like Pride’s are difficult to close without community assistance, and authorities are optimistic that advances in forensic technology or a potential witness may eventually provide the breakthrough needed to resolve her case and bring closure to her loved ones.
