Marilyn Wray, aged 21, was tragically killed on December 15, 1978, in Columbus, Ohio. Marilyn was found deceased in her apartment located at 1911 Belcher #104 in Franklin County. She was discovered by her sixteen-year-old sister early in the morning. Marilyn's six-year-old daughter was also in the apartment at the time of the incident but was unharmed.
The circumstances surrounding Marilyn's death indicate she was killed by strangulation.
A male friend had reportedly been visiting Marilyn until around 2 a.m. on the morning of her death, but no further details have emerged regarding this individual's involvement. Despite ongoing investigation efforts by the Columbus Police Department, her case remains unsolved, and authorities are still seeking any information that might lead to an arrest.
The Ohio Attorney General's Office and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to maintain Marilyn's case in the list of unsolved homicides, urging anyone with information to come forward. They hope that renewed public attention might help solve this decades-old case and bring justice for Marilyn and closure to her family.
