Reginald Joyner was found dead near the intersection of Greenwood and Holy Neck roads in Suffolk, Virginia, on March 7, 1993. He was described as a man in his 30s or 40s, and his death was later considered part of a series of at least twelve similar slayings around Hampton Roads. Victims in the series were often discovered nude and strangled in secluded but findable locations, and many had transient or high-risk lifestyles.

Joyner’s investigation was handled by a multi-agency task force including local police, the Virginia State Police, and the FBI. Authorities later arrested and indicted Elton M. Jackson in the murder of Andrew Andre Smith and publicly named him as the suspect in the connected killings. Jackson was convicted in Smith’s murder in August 1998, but prosecutors and juries found the evidence insufficient to secure convictions in Joyner’s case and several others.

Joyner’s death remains officially linked to the Hampton Roads serial killings. Did anyone who knew Reginald or saw him in Suffolk around early March 1993 come forward with information?
