The murder took place over 40 years ago, and the victim remains unidentified. I can't find any information online and little information in old newspapers. To my knowledge, the case will remain open until the victim has a name. If I went to a local police station, could they give me information? How else can I find out about this case?

It's for a college report...the deceased was the victim of a botched abortion, and the one paragraph article about the case only ran in the local newspaper for two days. She isn't listed on any missing and unidentified victims websites, or the unsolved homicide section of the state's official website. If the police would be of no help, what other sources could I use?

You can ASK to speak to someone about the case at the agency that is investigating. However, chances are that they will not provide you with much information as it is an open investigation.
Whether they give you any information at all will depend a good deal on what you want the information for. If you can somehow provide them with a lead to help identify the parties, they might be much more receptive to working with you.

All unsolved homicide are OPEN cases, so the police will be of NO help. You have to use other sources.
