Dorothy Smith, 37, was murdered on June 5, 2008, and found on the 4000 block of Aspen Street in Philadelphia. Her death is recorded among the city’s homicides for 2008, a year noted for high violence and many unsolved cases.

The case remains open and there have been no arrests reported. The unresolved status of Dorothy’s homicide is one strand in a larger pattern of unsolved violent crimes that year, leaving family and community without closure.

If anyone has information about Dorothy, her last movements, or anything seen near the 4000 block of Aspen Street on or around June 5, 2008, please come forward.
