On September 25, 1982, Regina Ann Yuhas Clemens, a 29-year-old white woman, was murdered in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, during a mass killing that also claimed her 6-year-old daughter, Montanzima Banks. The attacks began in the early morning at a mobile home park in Jenkins Township and continued at the perpetrator’s home in Wilkes-Barre, where several women and children were killed.

The assailant was identified as 40-year-old George Emil Banks, a former prison guard. The rampage left 13 people dead, including five of Banks’s own children. The day ended with a three-hour standoff and Banks’s arrest; he was charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and later sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of Regina or Montanzima, or information about the neighborhood in Jenkins Township and Wilkes-Barre on that day?
