On September 27, 1977, Deloris Lainart was found dead in West Carrollton, Ohio. The incident took place in Montgomery County, and her death was later ruled a homicide. Deloris was 44 years old at the time of her death. The case has remained unsolved since that time, and authorities have sought public assistance in gathering any information that could help solve the case. Despite investigative efforts, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the case remains one of many unsolved homicides listed in Ohio's cold case database.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) continues to feature Deloris Lainart's case in their database of unsolved homicides, aiming to bring greater visibility to it in hopes of generating new leads. Local law enforcement agencies are also working alongside the BCI, and they continue to encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward. The authorities believe that public engagement and tips could play a key role in helping to solve this decades-old case and provide closure to Deloris's loved ones.
