Floyd Holmes was a 59-year-old traveling salesman who was killed on April 15, 1984. Clarey shot and killed both Holmes and Bultema before fleeing across the state line into Indiana.

Clarey was later found hiding in a garage in La Porte, Indiana, taken into custody, and extradited to Michigan. At trial, the defense said Clarey suffered from severe mental health issues and had a history of drug abuse and a troubled upbringing. A jury found Richard Norbert Clarey Jr. guilty of the murders of Floyd Holmes, Dean Bultema, and an earlier victim, Robert Baranski; he was sentenced to life without parole.

Did anyone who knew Floyd Holmes or who remembers the New Buffalo rest area on April 15, 1984 have information to share?
