Marilyn Wray was 21 when she was found dead in her Columbus, Ohio apartment at 1911 Belcher #104 on December 15, 1978. Her sixteen-year-old sister discovered her early that morning; Marilyn’s six-year-old daughter was in the apartment and was unharmed. Authorities say Marilyn was killed by strangulation.

A male friend had been visiting until about 2 a.m. the morning of her death, but no further details about his involvement have been released. The Columbus Police Department, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation continue to list the case as an unsolved homicide and are seeking information that could lead to an arrest.

Did anyone in the area know Marilyn, her visitors, or notice something unusual that night?
