More than three years after being found dead in her Bowling Green home, the homicide of Dawn Glanz is still unsolved. Investigators want anyone with a possible piece to the puzzle to step forward.
Bowling Green Police Division issued a release Thursday asking that anyone with information about her death come forward – even if that information seems insignificant.
Glanz, 66, a professor of art history at Bowling Green State University, was found dead in her home on Kensington Boulevard in Bowling Green on May 9, 2013.
She was the wife of Robert A. Brown, of Toledo, and stepmother to Josh Brown, of Sylvania.
In December 2013, Glanz’s death was ruled a homicide by the Wood County Coroner. The autopsy found that she suffered a sharp force injury of the scalp and was stabbed by an assailant.
Bowling Green Police Chief Tony Hetrick said this morning that no new information has surfaced about the case, and that the police believe someone has details that could help them solve the case.
“We want to keep this in the forefront,” Hetrick said. “We don’t want people to forget we have this unsolved homicide.”
“We believe someone has information and for one reason or another hasn’t shared it,” the chief said.
Hetrick said the police division will not give up on finding Glanz’s killer.
“We’re not going to give up on this case. It’s been a couple years, but we’ve had cases go longer and then solved them,” he said.
“Somebody out there knows something,” Hetrick said. “It may seem insignificant, but it might be a vital clue to us.”
The press release sent out by the police division states: “If you saw or heard anything, no matter how small it may seem, or have any information as to what may have happened at Dawn’s home on the night of May 8, 2013 or the early morning of May 9, 2013, we would appreciate it if you would contact the Bowling Green Police Division at (419) 352-2571 or call CRIME STOPPERS at (419) 352-0077.
“Even a very small piece is needed to complete a puzzle,” the police release states. “Do you have one of the missing pieces?”
