Cold case solved 60 years after dismembered remains were found by fishermen

In June 1964, a fisherman discovered a severed human arm at a gravel pit in western Ohio. Four days later, another fisherman found a torso. The remains were identified as those of 43-year-old Daisy Shelton of Dayton — and now, 40 years later, authorities have officially declared the cold case solved. The witness to the murder gave testimony to a grand Jury but died before the case was prosecuted. The suspect died in September 2022 at the age of 92.
