Richard Haney, a Brookville, Ohio resident, was reported missing on January 24, 1975. His gray 1965 Ford Falcon was found months later in Dayton, and investigators discovered Haney’s body in the car’s trunk in April 1975. He had been shot to death and the case was classified as a homicide.

The disappearance is reported to have started at his residence in Brookville, and the vehicle’s recovery in Dayton led to the grim discovery. No suspects or motives have been identified and the case remains unsolved. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and local law enforcement have kept the investigation open and continue to seek tips.

If anyone remembers unusual activity around Brookville in January 1975 or saw a gray 1965 Ford Falcon in Dayton that spring, contact the Dayton Police Department with information.
