Richard Marbury, 63, was found dead in his Gainesville home at 1222 NE 15th Street on December 3, 1994. He was legally blind and had been reported missing that afternoon by his pastor; a bus driver last saw him alive at about 3:00 p.m. that day. When police later entered his residence they found it locked with no signs of forced entry.

Marbury lived a relatively isolated life and kept his house secured with burglar bars and a high fence. Witnesses reported an unfamiliar blue pickup truck in his yard on the day he was killed. Investigators also learned Marbury had interacted with people involved in drug abuse, a detail that investigators say may relate to motive. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who saw a blue pickup near 1222 NE 15th Street on December 3, 1994, or who knew Marbury’s associates, is asked to come forward with information.
