The case of Carol Ryan, an unsolved murder in Upstate New York, remains a chilling and perplexing mystery. In 1996, Carol Ryan, a 42-year-old woman from Eastwood, New York, was discovered unconscious after suffering severe injuries from a firework explosion. Authorities believe she may have been intentionally targeted, as the device used was a commercial-grade firework, which suggests a deliberate and brutal attack. The investigation has yielded few leads, and despite efforts from law enforcement and the public, no one has been arrested or charged in connection with her death. Carol Ryan’s case stands as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in seemingly ordinary places.

If you have any information about Carol Ryan’s case, contact the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office at 315-435-3051. To submit an anonymous tip, text TIPONON and your tip to 847411.
