Patricia Eleanor Greenwood, born in 1948, has been identified as the woman found on the shores of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1980. Her death is being investigated as a possible homicide.

At discovery her body was in near total decay, but she was wearing a size 12 beige disco style cocktail dress and a white lace slip that remained intact. The autopsy recorded countless broken bones; it is not known whether those injuries were inflicted before death or were caused by the lake ice.

With her name now known, investigators are seeking anyone who can share more about Patricia’s life or how she came to be in Sandusky in 1980. If anyone knew Patricia Greenwood or has information about her movements or contacts from that time, please come forward.
