Public’s Help Needed to Identify Suspect in Fairfax Homicide
(FAIRFAX, Ohio) – The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Fairfax Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect who broke into a 64-year-old woman’s home and killed her.
The crime is believed to have taken place between midnight and 6 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 2.
Sheila “Denise” Tenpenny, who lived alone, was found dead later Sunday morning inside the home, at 3919 Germania Street. Fairfax is a village in southeastern Hamilton County.
