Richard Banyots, 19, left his family home in Girard, Ohio, late one November night after taking a phone call in his bedroom and never returned. When he failed to be home by 3:00 a.m., his brother began searching, a search that ultimately revealed a violent crime. Richard, employed as a UPS driver and a part-time stockbroker, had gone that night to a brothel in Youngstown.

Witness accounts and police investigation say he was upstairs with a woman named Michelle Miller before being confronted downstairs by two men, Clarence Vince Coleman (also reported as Clarence 'Vince' Coleman) and Jerome Davis. The men allegedly pistol-whipped and robbed him, forced him into his car trunk, and—with Miller and another woman present—drove to the Monongahela River in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where Coleman shot Richard and his body was discarded into flood-swollen waters.

Bloodstains at the brothel matched Richard’s blood type. A handgun recovered from the river matched the description of the murder weapon, and Coleman later provided a detailed confession. Coleman and Davis were each convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery, theft, and conspiracy and received life without parole. Miller, whose immunity was later rescinded, pleaded no contest to robbery, kidnapping, and criminal conspiracy and was sentenced to 35 to 70 years.

Did anyone who knew Richard in Girard or Youngstown notice his car or recall that November night?
