Richard Haney

Richard Haney is remembered as a Brookville, Ohio resident whose life and ties to his community are recorded in public law-enforcement records. While publicly available information about his personal history is limited, official sources identify him by name and connect him to Brookville and the Dayton area in early 1975.

What is known from verified public records is that Richard was reported missing from his Brookville residence on January 24, 1975. For those who knew him in the region, that date marks the beginning of a long period of uncertainty for family, friends, and neighbors. In the spring of 1975 his vehicle — described as a gray 1965 Ford Falcon — was recovered in Dayton; authorities later determined that Richard had died. The brief public record notes that police classified his death a homicide. Beyond these facts, the public record contains little personal detail about his work, hobbies, or family life.

Because formal obituary or funeral notices matching his name and the exact date of death could not be found in the published archives consulted, this page is intended as a respectful remembrance rather than a full life history. Although the historical record here is sparse, it is important to remember that Richard was a person with connections to a community in Montgomery County, Ohio. The silence of available obituary archives does not lessen the human reality of his life or the loss experienced by those who knew him.

This memorial honors Richard Haney by acknowledging the basic facts preserved in official records and by offering a place where his name is recorded with dignity. If you have memories, photographs, family details, or other verified information that could help deepen this remembrance, local authorities and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have publicly encouraged anyone with information to come forward. Above all, this page aims to affirm Richard’s existence and the fact that his life mattered to the people and places connected to him.
