On May 20, 1982, Susan DeNoma’s mother went to Susan’s apartment to check on her since she had not gone to work. Her mother found her body in the bedroom of her Cincinnati apartment. Susan had been stabbed but the cause of death was strangulation.
The police eliminated a possible suspect in 1994. There was one other suspect who they could not eliminate. After obtaining a lawyer soon after the homicide, he was not questioned any further. It seems doubtful that the police obtained a DNA sample. So Susan DeNoma’s homicide remains a cold case.
In August 1995, while living in Florida, this suspect murdered his wife and then committed suicide. He left a note mentioning a murder in Cincinnati that he was suspected of committing. It seems as though he denied committing the murder of Susan DeNoma in Cincinnati. It seems suspicious that he committed the murder/suicide not too long after a different suspect was eliminated. Did he commit other murders while living in Cincinnati?
It is still possible to charge someone with homicide after their death. Have the police obtained a DNA sample in order to eliminate or charge their last known suspect?
If anyone has any information about Susan DeNoma’s case, please contact the Cincinnati Police Homicide Division at 513-352-3542 or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
