On January 14, 1972, Shelia Banks was tragically killed in Dayton, Ohio. She was found dead on the same day in Montgomery County. The case has remained unsolved for over fifty years, and no suspects have been identified. The Dayton Police Department is the leading agency in investigating the homicide, which is currently classified as a cold case.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in cooperation with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, has highlighted Shelia Banks' case among many unsolved homicides to increase public awareness and encourage individuals with any information to come forward. The authorities hope that by bringing visibility to this case, they might receive tips that could finally lead to the identification and arrest of those responsible for Shelia Banks' death. If anyone has information about this incident, they are urged to contact law enforcement to assist in resolving this longstanding case and help bring justice to Banks' family.
