Lisa Ann Gross, 39, was found dead in the bathtub of her Westerville home at 6758 Damson Place on May 21, 2001. Her two daughters, ages 11 and 7, discovered the scene after returning from school and found the house flooded from an overflowing tub. Lisa had a puncture wound to the back of her head that was determined to be the cause of death; the murder weapon was never recovered and there were no signs of forced entry.

Investigators noted shredded paper from Lisa’s home office scattered over her body and the bathroom floor, a detail they suggested might mean she knew her attacker. Hair found at the scene was later sent to an out-of-state DNA lab in 2008 but produced no matches, and DNA samples were collected from more than 100 neighbors during the inquiry. The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and Lisa’s family continue to seek leads; her daughters later established Hope for Surviving Children of Violent Crime to help other children affected by violent incidents.

Does anyone in the Orchard Lakes subdivision remember anything unusual around May 21, 2001 that could help bring answers?
