Ethel E. Euell was found dead on October 3, 1971, in Dayton, Ohio. The homicide took place in Montgomery County, and the case remains unsolved decades later. At the time of the incident, she was pronounced dead, with details of her death indicating it was a homicide. The case was investigated by the Dayton Police Department, but there has been no substantial progress that has led to identifying the suspect or bringing someone to justice.
Euell's homicide is one of many cold cases highlighted by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) to encourage the public to provide any information that could assist in solving these crimes. The BCI has worked to keep cases like Ethel Euell's in the public eye, urging anyone with potential information to come forward and help bring closure to her family. Such cold cases are kept open by local law enforcement and are frequently featured on databases run by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office in an effort to obtain new leads that may help solve them. The hope is that public engagement may eventually yield the tips necessary to resolve these long-standing mysteries.
