Finding Joanne Coughlin: Billboards highlight 1974 Boardman unsolved case
There’s a nonprofit called Season of Justice that brings awareness to cold cases across the nation.
They’re helping the local authorities, family and the Boardman community figure out what happened to Joanne Coughlin, who disappeared 49 years ago.
There’s a billboard of 21-year-old Coughlin at the intersection of Boardman-Canfield Road and Market Street in Boardman. It asks anyone in the community with information to contact the police.
According to Season of Justice, the billboard will stay up through the end of July “in hopes of reminding the community that Joanne is still missed and her family remains committed to finding her.”
