Christopher Rudow, 32, was found dead in his Buffalo loft on January 5, 2010, after friends and family had not heard from him for some time. An autopsy showed more than 25 severe blunt force trauma injuries; authorities believe he died sometime between Christmas 2009 and the day his body was found.

Investigators reported the apartment had been wiped of DNA, including Rudow’s, and was dead-bolted from the inside. There were no signs of forced entry and his wallet and credit cards were left untouched, leading family to think he may have known his killer. Friends noted Rudow was openly gay and worried the killing could be linked to a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ attacks in the area.

Buffalo police questioned several people, including a neighbor who heard a disturbance and an ex-boyfriend who reportedly passed a polygraph, but no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests announced. Does anyone have information that could help bring justice in this unsolved case?
