Myrtle is daughter of John & Ida Farrow. Widow of Herbert Fray. She was murdered in her apartment at 10911 Lake Ave., Cleveland, OH. Evidence indicates she knew murderer since she apparently let him/her in. She was brutally beaten to death. Residents were awakened by screams at 4 a.m. but they quickly quieted and their source was not located. The body was discovered by a janitor the next morning. The murder was never solved. There is a convoluted connection to the famous Marilyn Sheppard murder: Myrtle's sister, Ethel M. Durkin, was later also murdered in 1984. Ethel's murderer was Richard Eberling. Interestingly, Eberling was the window-washer some suspect of being the real murderer of Sam Sheppard's wife Marilyn in 1954. Eberling was also an acquaintance of Myrtle Fray.
