Ryoko Hanano, 60, of Anaheim, California, was shot and killed on July 10, 1988, during a home invasion tied to a car sale. Ryoko and her husband Kazumi had advertised their black 1984 Chevrolet Corvette for sale. A woman identifying herself as a prospective buyer, Nanette Scheid, came to the Hananos’ home with Robert Clarence Taylor and James Norman DeWitt.

The victims were made to kneel facedown with their heads on the mattress; Taylor pulled the mattress over their heads and asked about money. Ryoko was shot and killed; Kazumi was left severely injured and paralyzed.

Robert Clarence Taylor was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder, burglary, and robbery and received the death penalty. Nanette Scheid and James Norman DeWitt were also found to have participated; Scheid was held guilty under the felony-murder rule. Does anyone have memories or information about the Hananos, the advertised Corvette, or the events of July 10, 1988?
