Pierce Township

Today, we uncover the heartbreaking unsolved murder of 19-year-old Amy Diesman, a young mother whose first overnight shift at a convenience store would tragically become her last.

In September 1987, Amy was balancing nursing classes with raising her four-month-old daughter when she took a job at the Merwin Shop 'n Go in Pierce Township, Ohio, hoping to earn money while building a better future for them both.

Despite being new to the job, Amy was scheduled to work alone through the night.

And sometime during those quiet early morning hours, an unknown person entered the store and shot her in the head.

Her body was later discovered behind the counter by a customer who walked inside expecting an ordinary transaction and instead found a horrifying crime scene.

As we unravel Amy's final shift, the investigation that followed, and the unanswered questions that have endured for decades, we'll explore the chilling mystery at the center of this case.

Who walked into that convenience store in the darkness, and why did Amy Diesman never make it home to her baby? 19-year-old Amy Diesman was murdered on September 12th, 1987, in Pierce Township, Ohio.

She had been working alone during her overnight shift at a convenience store when she'd been shot in the head by an unknown assailant.

The Planning Commission met on the 14th, as we talked about, specifically to discuss the proper zoning regulations and overlay, followed by a September 6th public hearing.

Painter then turned to Pierce Township, where he said officials were taking time to update their zoning regulations before considering data center development.

Pierce Township confirms that its data center moratorium now runs through May 31st, 2027.

During the moratorium, the township says it will not issue development approvals for data centers while staff and the zoning commission study possible regulations and solicit public input.

So keep your eyes on Pierce because it sounds like a data center fight might be incoming out there.
