"It's hard to go every day and you're thinking about it. What happened? Who did this to our mother? Who would be a monster to do something like that? It would have to be a monster," said Buford Oglesby of Dayton.
His mother, Lillie Oglesby was murdered in her home on Genesee Avenue in May of 2004 and to this day, her relatives and investigators do not know why. Dayton cold case detective Patricia Tackett has reopened the investigation and has sent DNA for analysis. Tackett is hoping someone who may have information will come forward.
