Mark Peters was 71 and living in Hamilton, Ohio, when he disappeared in October 1993 after letting a much younger local man, Glen Edward Rogers, stay in his home. Peters was a retired electrician and military veteran. His automobile and a number of valuable possessions, including antiques, firearms and a coin collection, were reported missing when he vanished, and Rogers left the area about the same time.

Peters’s remains were not found until January 10, 1994, inside a Rogers family cabin near Beattyville, Kentucky. He was recovered bound to a chair and concealed among furniture; because of the condition of the remains, reports do not establish a precise day of death. Investigators believed Peters may have been stabbed or strangled, and the combination of his missing property, Rogers having lived with Peters, and Rogers leaving Hamilton made Rogers the principal suspect.

Rogers was not immediately arrested in the Peters case and later became the focus of multiple murder investigations in other states. Reports say he was charged in connection with Peters’s killing but the Peters case did not produce a murder conviction against him. Information about Peters’s disappearance and death remains of interest to anyone who knew him or saw his car or belongings in October 1993.
