Silas Calloway, 71, was found dead on his farm in Danville, Virginia, on February 20, 1993. A retired construction worker and farmer, Calloway was discovered by his son, Silas Jr., inside the elder man’s yellow pickup truck on the property, his body covered with a coat. Investigators later determined he had been beaten and strangled; an empty wallet nearby suggested a robbery may have occurred.

Family members say the death was initially treated as a heart attack and that relatives were allowed into the home before the scene was secured, facts they believe may have compromised the early investigation. The case was later reopened and the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office has publicly appealed for information, at one point putting up a billboard seeking witnesses. No arrests have been announced as of this writing.

If anyone knew Silas Calloway, his routines on the farm, or saw unfamiliar people or vehicles in the area around February 20, 1993, please contact the Sheriff’s Office with what they remember.
