The Des Moines Police Department is asking for information in the cold case of a young mother who was murdered in the Riverbend neighborhood.

On Sept. 5, 1987, Jamedia Hines was found strangled and beaten to death in the 1700 block of Oakland Avenue. Investigators said there was no evidence of a sexual assault, no fingerprints, and DNA use wasn't a common practice yet.

Investigators learned new information in 2023, according to a news release, "but the missing piece is still out there."

If anyone has information about the death of Jamedia Hines, contact the Des Moines Police Department at 515-283-4864. Anonymous tips can be sent to crimestoppersofcentraliowa.com .
