Edith Harris, 21, was found dead behind a house at 323 S. 22nd Street in Columbus, Ohio, on July 20, 1979. Her body was discovered lying in tall grass and investigators determined she had sustained blunt force trauma; her death was ruled a homicide. Reports indicate her remains had been there some time before discovery, complicating the investigation.

Harris was originally from Morrisdale, Pennsylvania and had recently moved to Columbus prior to her death. The Columbus Police Department and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated but the case remains unsolved. The Ohio Attorney General’s cold case listings include her file in hopes of generating new leads.

If anyone has information about Edith Harris or her movements in Columbus in 1979, please submit a tip to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office or contact the Columbus Police Department.
