More than twelve years after a young woman was found dead on a New Castle street, her murder case remains without resolution.<\/p>

Kendra Dobyns, age 19, was found deceased in the roadway during the early morning of June 1, 2012. A person walking by discovered her body in the unit block of Pyles Lane in New Castle’s Hamilton Park neighborhood.<\/p>

The incident occurred in the 19720 zip code area, and investigators have continued working on the case despite the passage of time. The circumstances surrounding Dobyns’ death have kept the case classified as a cold case homicide.<\/p>

Authorities are still seeking information that could help solve this unsolved murder from over a decade ago.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
