Cold case killing of 29-year-old man in Vermont remains unsolved 44 years later
Twenty-nine-year-old Jan Rhein was found dead in the parking lot of a business in Winooski, Vermont on April 19, 1980.
Forty-four years later, the man’s killing remains a cold case.
“His death was determined to be a homicide, which remains unsolved,” Vermont State Police said in a Facebook post Friday, the 44th anniversary of Rhein’s slaying.
Rhein’s body was found behind the former Forest Hills Factory Outlet on West Canal Street in Winooski around noon on April 19, 1980, according to a statement from Vermont State Police.
An individual was in the parking area behind the building when Rhein was discovered dead on the ground, the statement noted.
Anyone with any information on Rhein’s killing or any other unsolved homicide is asked to contact the Vermont State Police Major Crime Unit at (802) 244-8781 or submit tips anonymously at vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.
