Dion Bay Bay Akemon, 32 and visiting from Memphis, disappeared in Cincinnati in the autumn of 2005 while spending time with his half-brother William Will Roland. The brothers were last seen together at about 10:00 p.m. outside the Parktown Cafe on the 1700 block of Linn Street. Eyewitnesses reported seeing them near a white van in the parking lot and say a man called them outside for reasons that remain unclear.

Shortly after they vanished, both men’s cell phones, wallets, and keys were recovered in a dumpster on McMicken Street. William’s white Cincinnati Reds cap was found with blood on it, a detail that prompted authorities to suspect foul play. Both brothers had prior justice-system involvement, but family members said they were trying to leave that life behind. The disappearance remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Cincinnati in 2005 see the brothers that night or notice a white van near Parktown Cafe?
