Richard Eugene Orebaugh was 80 and an Air Force veteran when he was fatally shot in the neck during a robbery at his Mount Sidney, Virginia home on the evening of August 28, 2014. He survived long enough to identify his attacker before dying at the University of Virginia Medical Center on August 29, 2014.

The man Orebaugh named was his daughter’s ex-husband, Richard Clay Smith. Investigators found the robbery had been planned by Smith with his sister, Laura L. Williams, and his girlfriend, Andrea C. Mullan.

Smith was arrested and charged with capital murder and robbery and ultimately accepted a plea that resulted in two consecutive life sentences without parole. Williams later turned herself in and Mullan was arrested. Does anyone have information about Orebaugh, his family, or the events that night?
