Do you know who murdered Lotze?
On December 22, 1973, Lotze Feisthammel, aged 69, was found brutally beaten to death at 8 West Elder Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident took place in Hamilton County, and the homicide was classified as an unsolved murder. The Cincinnati Police Department responded to the scene, but despite an ongoing investigation, no suspects have been identified, and the case remains unsolved.
Lotze Feisthammel, born on July 4, 1904, was well known in his local community. The details of his violent death shocked the area, and the lack of leads has left the case among Ohio's numerous cold cases. The Ohio Attorney General's Office, through its cold case initiative, continues to feature Lotze's case, seeking public help to generate new leads that could finally solve this longstanding mystery. They encourage anyone with potential information to submit a tip in hopes of providing answers to Feisthammel's family and ensuring justice is served.
Authorities are still looking for any information that might assist in the case, and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) continues to work with local law enforcement to bring attention to this and similar unsolved homicides. The community's help is critical in bringing these decades-old cases to a resolution. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Cincinnati Police Department or the Ohio BCI to help bring justice for Lotze Feisthammel.
