Charlotte Rae Ross was a twenty-seven-year-old mother of two who lived in Akron, Ohio. Shortly before three a.m. on the morning of March 30th, 2000, a newspaper delivery driver found her lying, critically injured, in the parking lot of a business located at 957 East Cherry Street in Canal Fulton, Ohio, a town approximately fourteen miles from Akron.
An ambulance arrived in short order and transported Charlotte to the nearest hospital; she was then airlifted to Akron General, but she sadly passed away hours later during emergency surgery.
The cause of death was found to be massive blood loss from severe blunt force trauma to the pelvis. Investigators also believed she may have been redressed before being dumped, leading them to suspect sexual assault.
There seems to have been no progress at all on the case for twenty-five years, and neither motive nor killer is known.
