Theodore H. Long

Theodore "Teddy" H. Long. December 1961 - November 1981. Ted was born in Dayton, Ohio to Theron H. Long and Patricia A. (Krebs) Long. He attended Robert S. Rogers Senior High School from 1976-1978. Ted is remembered as a sweet, inquisitive young man with a charming smile and a sharp, sometimes slightly twisted wit, who excelled at sketch drawing. He possessed a laid back outlook on life which complimented his love of music and partying.

In the fall of 1981, Ted left Toledo for Columbus to retrieve belongings and never returned. He was slain and due to the perpetrator's intention, he remained unidentified until an advance in his location was researched. It is with immeasurable gratitude to all involved including; Detective Sgt. David Sweeney, Chief Deputy David "Andy" Bevins and Ohio Attorney General Bureau of Criminal Investigation for reuniting Ted with his family. Anyone familiar with Theodore Long or information related to this investigation is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Charles Kyle at Fayette County Sheriff's office by calling 740-335-6170 or by e-mail at Charles.kyle@fayette-co-oh.com.

Left to hold dear Ted's memory were his parents, sisters, Robin and Sharon. Ted is survived by his sister, Sharon (Jesus), niece, Patricia, and nephew, Samuel.
