A memorial service for attorney Margaret “Missy”Allen, who was strangled last month in her Fairfield home on Whitmore Lane, is set for noon Saturday at Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church, 9991 Wayne Ave., Woodlawn.
Visitation with the family will be 10:30 a.m. at the church. A Delta Sigma Theta Sorority service will be held at 10 a.m.
Memorial donations may be made to Women Helping Women, 217 E. Ninth St., 7th Floor, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202; Summer Work Experience in Law (SWEL), PO Box 36593, Cincinnati, Ohio 45236-0593; or YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, 898 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
Allen’s body was found in a wooded area at Schmidt Field in Cincinnati’s East End on July 27.
Police have not made an arrest in the case. Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper said there is a primary suspect.
The investigation has focused on her boyfriend, according to Allen’s relatives.
Attorney Richard Goldberg, who represents the boyfriend, said his client – an ex-con with a history of violence -- has cooperated with police and has supplied them with his DNA and fingerprints.
