John Price, aged 49, was murdered on July 3, 1978, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was found shot in the area of Rapid Run Park in Hamilton County. The Cincinnati Police Department has been leading the investigation, but unfortunately, no suspects have been officially identified, and the case remains unsolved to this day. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office continues to list the case among its unsolved homicides, seeking the public's assistance in providing any new leads that could help solve the crime.
At the time of the incident, the crime scene was thoroughly investigated, but the lack of witnesses and substantial evidence has made progress difficult. The circumstances surrounding Price’s death have remained a mystery, adding his case to the long list of cold cases from the late 1970s in the Cincinnati area. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, in partnership with the local law enforcement agencies, continues to provide resources and visibility in the hopes that new information might one day emerge.
As with many other cold cases, investigators hope that advancements in technology or new information from the community could lead to a breakthrough. The authorities encourage anyone with details regarding the incident to come forward and share information, in the hope that justice might still be served for John Price and his family.
