Title: Columbus, Ohio: serial murders. Ohio State University.

Dates: 1965 - 1966

Overview: Ambushed rocket scientist. What did they want?.

Status: Cold Case.

On May 23, 1966, an unknown gunman ambushed Loren Bollinger, a 40-year-old rocket scientist at Ohio State University, outside his office In downtown Columbus. Five bullets were extracted from Bollingers corpse, including one that pierced his brain. Ballistics tests linked the .25 caliber pistol to the earlier murders of two gas station attendants in or near Columbus, since September 1965. The same weapon was also linked to a fourth crime, in which another service station employee was robbed, then shot and left for dead by a male assailant. Motive remains obscure in the Bollinger case, in which no attempt at robbery was evident. Despite a fair description of the gunman from his sole surviving victim, Columbus detectives are no closer to solving the case at present than they were in 1966.
