Does anyone remember a murder commited by Betty Beaudry, a nurse. Her husband was chronically ill and she had 2 children (sons, I believe). She killed all of them. I think it took place in Greenhills. I believe it was sometime in the mid to late 60's

I would drive by the sidewalk where it happened and get chills years afterward.

I also now recall that there was an investigative reporter on a local TV station who was suppossed to present new evidence on this case. His report never aired because he committed suicide,

I remember because he had been the editor of the XU student newspaper when I was there. I think his last name was Ryan.

I sure do! As a young child, I had trouble falling asleep and would listen to the radio late at night--usually WLW or WKRC. I remember if there was a news bulletin, they would play some scary-sounding music and announce, "Bulletin--bulletin--bulletin." It was in the very early hours of the morning that the station broke in with a bulletin to announce that Debbie's body had been found under a porch. I remember being very frightened and still recall this some fifty years later!

If you type "Debbie Dappen Fairfax," in a search, some old newspaper clippings and stories will come up.

I was one of the investigating police officers that responded to the scene. Betty Beaudry shot her husband who was on the sofa, stabbed both of her children both had defense wounds on their hands, she then shot herself in the fleshy area of her shoulder.. Quite a bloody scene.

I just wish they would have held off awhile to see if the lab can actually extract a valid dna profile from the evidence they have. If they cannot getting hopes up dna could lead to a suspect will just fall flat. If they can extract a valid dna profile, even if they do not get a hit in CODIS that profile will remain on file.

Since they have multiple sources of evidence, I am curious as to whether they come up with a single dna profile or multiple.

Does anyone recall a murder in the 6o's, and I think maybe it was Cincinnati. A man that owned an apartment complex and lived in one of the apartments did not answer his door for a couple of months, so people that was trying to pay their rent became concerned. Then there seemed to be a smell coming from his apartment. Police and FBI was notified and they went in apartment and found that the horrible strong smell seemed to be stronger in bathroom. They opened up cabinet under sink and it was solid with cement. Someone came out and busted cement out and inside the vanity in the wall was the landlord. Someone had beat him so badly with baseball bat that his eyes were hanging out of their sockets. There was also a briefcase buried in the wall with him and it led the police to one of the men involved, there was a conviction of 20 years to life. If anyone has any info on this crime would you please send or comment me info, very interested in the rest of this story, one of my close family members was involved. There was another man involved but was never ascertained. I have done some research and it is very time consuming and help I would be so greatful. The man that was caught they found in Alabama and he was brought back to Ohio and charged. He served close to 20 years and married when he got out and had a couple of children. He passed away in 2009. If anyone is local and can check maybe police cases and or newspapers I'm sure they can find info on that murder, if nothing else it would be good reading.
