Delores McClain, a 67-year-old woman, was tragically murdered in Cincinnati, Ohio, on January 8, 1979. Her body was discovered at 27 Craft Street, marking the scene of a brutal double homicide, which also claimed the life of her neighbor, Charles Brothers. McClain was last seen alive on January 5, 1979, when she mentioned plans to withdraw a substantial amount of money and visit someone in the hospital. Following this, she and Brothers were found bludgeoned to death in his apartment. The violent nature of the crime shook the local community, raising concerns about safety and leaving many unanswered questions.
The Cincinnati Police Department began an investigation into McClain’s murder, exploring potential leads related to her last known activities and examining possible motives, but the case remains unsolved. Over the years, despite periodic reviews and appeals for public information, investigators have not identified a suspect. The case is part of Ohio’s cold case database, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward, as even minor details might provide the key to resolving this longstanding case.
