University of Cincinnati students found the body of a white woman in the parking strip along the 2700 block of Enslin Street on Nov. 2. Sammarco said she determined the woman died elsewhere and the body was left on the street in University Heights.
A bulletin from the coroner and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation described the woman as white, between 20 and 40, about 5-foot-7 and 210 pounds. She wore only black and white yoga pants. She had four tattoos: the name Julie, a cannabis leaf, the A-in-a-circle anarchy symbol used by the band Nine Inch Nails and a runic design.
On Monday, Sammarco said she did not suspect foul play. Graf’s cause of death is still pending, according to the coroner’s office.
Two women still unidentified
The coroner's office is still seeking information leading to the identification of two other women.
Sammarco has ruled that the woman in the 2018 case died of a drug overdose. The body was found wrapped in a blanket, a rose in her hand, and buried in a shallow grave at an Avondale apartment complex on Glenwood Avenue.
On Sept. 10, Colerain Township police investigated a blue Buick sedan in the parking lot of the Walmart in the 8400 block of Colerain Avenue in Colerain Township. In the passenger seat sat the body of a woman between 35 and 65, 5-feet-9, 179 pounds with brown medium-length hair and green eyes. She wore a pink hoodie, a black and white shirt, gray sweat pants and rainbow Danskin Now tennis shoes, size 8 ½.
The Buick bears New Mexico license tags. Detective Brent Wetherington of the Colerain Township police said parking-lot video surveillance spotted someone parking the car Aug. 30. Somebody blocked out the windshield with a sunshade and draped plastic over a broken window on the passenger side. The woman’s body was found in the car 11 days later.
