On December 1, 2025, the Lucas County Coroner’s Office was notified by the Toledo Police Department of the discovery of human remains in an unauthorized burial site at Woodlawn Cemetery on Central Avenue in Toledo, Ohio. Examination conducted over the following two days confirmed them to be the rest of the missing remains of 27-year-old Malicai D. Calder, whose previously recovered dismembered remains were examined by our office on November 26, 2025. The cause of death has been determined to be multiple sharp force injuries, and the manner of death remains as homicide. The circumstances, including the time and date of death, are still under active investigation.
