Nettie Brown, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, was tragically killed on July 19, 1976. The homicide occurred in Montgomery County, and the case remains unsolved decades later. On the morning of the incident, a neighbor found her body near a dumpster, wrapped in a bloody blanket. Nettie had been brutally bludgeoned and stabbed, and her death shook the local community. The discovery was made after police had earlier responded to a report of gunshots in the area but found nothing amiss.
The Dayton Police Department has continued to investigate Nettie's case as part of their ongoing efforts to address cold cases, and they still urge anyone with information to come forward. Law enforcement is hopeful that even small pieces of information may help in solving this brutal crime and bringing justice for Nettie. Despite the passing years, the homicide remains active in the minds of both the authorities and Nettie’s family, who still seek closure and justice. The Dayton Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General's office have made public calls for assistance, encouraging anyone with relevant information to submit a tip to help solve this lingering cold case.
