LAST UPDATE: 4/29/2005 10:11:40 AM
A newly formed Cold Case Squad within the Butler County Sheriff's Office is confident it can solve the murder of a local woman eight years ago.
Laney Gwinner was killed in December 1997. No one knows why, and the one clue that could lead to her killer has yet to be uncovered.
Gwinner was last seen at a bar in Fairfield. Her body was found a month later in the Ohio River near Warsaw, Kentucky.
Missing in the investigation is her Honda Del Sol. Detectives think it was dumped in the Great Miami River south of Hamilton. Investigators hope SONAR equipment will help locate it and bring to the surface some sort of watery clue.
Detective Frank Smith tells Local 12 CrimeStoppers reporter Deborah Dixon he believes Gwinner's body was in the car when it went into the water. At some point it came out and floated downstream, he speculated.
Detectives are once again interviewing Gwinner's friends and acquaintances in hopes of developing new suspects.
If you have information on the case, call CrimeStoppers at (513) 352-3040 or toll free at 888-352-3040. You do not have to give your name and could get cash for your clues. Local 12 and CrimeStoppers have been partners for 24 years.
