My great great grandfather Charles Edward Blackburn was murdered in Cleveland, Ohio on December 24, 1924. He was born in May 1871 in Cambridgeshire, England. Married Mary Ann Parker in 1901 in Croydon, had 6 children then abandoned my family in 1910 and emigrated to America aboard the Cairnrona. I have attempted to find out the result of his murder investigation but have been unsuccessful. After contacting both Cleveland Court and Cleveland Police, all I have gained is his autopsy record. This had his name as Harold E Blackburn, a possible mixup or alias I don't know. I have 2 newspaper clippings describing the event, a possible robbery attempt, but cannot find anything that discusses the case resolution.
My family remained in England and never saw Charles Blackburn again. It would be a great way to close this story if I could find out what happened with the case, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips or insights on potentially working this out?
Thank you!
