Frank Little Jr. -

A recent mystery to reach a sort-of conclusion is the disappearance of the early O'Jays guitarist, Frank Little Jr. He performed with the R&B group before spending two years in the army serving in Vietnam. He returned to his hometown in Ohio in the mid-1970s and disappeared shortly afterward. More than 40 years later, DNA evidence has shown that he met a tragic and violent end. Human remains were found in a garbage bag behind a building in Ohio in 1982. Police weren't able to identify the body at the time, but they determined that the person had been stabbed to death and stored in the bag several years prior. In 2021, the person was identified as Frank Little Jr. and the police were finally able to investigate his death as a homicide.
