Police are asking for your help in the murder of a Springfield Township couple. In fact, you might see that message while driving around town.
Bold red letters spell it out: "Double homicide victims." The message is shining above the streets of Toledo on digital billboards: "Reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction."
The signs are now keeping a gruesome murder in the limelight. It's hoped the exposure may help uncover who killed Johnny Clarke and Lisa Straub on January 31.
Johnny, who was 21, had been living with his 20-year-old girlfriend, Lisa, in her parent's house on Longacre Lane in Springfield Township.
The Straubs were away on a cruise when the Clarke family found the couple's bodies. They were tied up with bags over their heads. Investigators suspect robbery was the motive and someone was searching for a safe. The search ended with nothing stolen and two lives cut short.
Digital billboards are often used to solve crimes. They are often used for Amber Alerts, but this may be the first double homicide.
The reward in the case is now up to $16,000. If you have any information, call Crime Stopper at 419-255-1111.
LE is actually mentioning the safe?
