Stanley Louis Chism Jr., 20, disappeared from Orlando, Florida, on February 5, 1988. He was last seen leaving his Albania Avenue residence to go to Altamonte Mall and while there used a payphone to call his parents in Dayton, Ohio, and his girlfriend in Irvine, Kentucky. A gospel singer, he had been planning to move back to Ohio in March to join his father’s ministry.

The investigation quickly focused on Harold Suggs after Suggs was found in possession of Chism’s blue Pontiac Grand Prix about three weeks later and was seen driving it in Starke, roughly 130 miles from Orlando, the day after Chism vanished. Officers found Chism’s eyeglasses, books and jacket and bloodstains in the backseat; DNA testing later matched the blood to Chism. A bloodstained shirt, other clothing and a blood-covered crowbar were recovered from a nearby dumpster; a bank deposit slip and Chism’s girlfriend’s phone number were in the shirt pocket. Several items were missing from the car and it had been driven about 2,000 miles since the disappearance.

Suggs gave conflicting accounts about his relationship with Chism, had no permanent address, and used aliases.

Does anyone have information about Chism, his movements in Orlando in early February 1988, or Harold Suggs’ whereabouts then?
