Family Makes Plea For Remains In 5-Year-Old Murder Cold Case

http://www.wchstv.com/news/features/eyewitness-news/stories/Family-Makes-Plea-For-Remains-In-5-Year-Old-Murder-Cold-Case-240326.shtml#.Vmg717grLIU

There&#8217;s a murder case that's been haunting Kanawha County Sheriff&#8217;s Deputies for the last five years. The sister of Sam "Dickie" Riser is again pleading for help. Not for her brother's return, but for the whereabouts of his remains.

The Glasgow man disappeared half a decade ago. Dickie riser's sister Linda Barnette tells Eyewitness News, given what they saw at the crime scene, she and her niece were the first ones inside his home the night of his murder, there's no way he could be alive.

Now, they just want to put his remains, if they can be located, to rest.

"We know what he was murdered with,&#8221; said Barnette. &#8220;We know DNA was left at the crime scene."

Police investigated, but did not have enough evidence to put out a warrant for anyone's arrest. What Barnette does not know after 5 years now, is where her brother's remains are and she believes someone out there most definitely knows.

Cold Case Files: What happened to Samuel "Dickie" Riser 10 years ago in Kanawha County?

This December marks 10 years since an eastern Kanawha County coal mine worker was last seen alive and while investigators do have persons of interest in the case, they don't have the evidence needed to secure an arrest.

Samuel Richard Riser, who went by Dickie, has been missing since Dec. 8, 2010. He was 60 years old and was last seen at his home in the 300 block of Third Avenue in Glasgow.
---
"We learned on Dec. 8, he had some activity on some bank accounts, some phone records. There are some things in his house that we found that would indicate he was still at his house on Dec. 8," Kanawha County Sheriff's Office Chief of Detectives Lt. Sean Snuffer said. "Everything that we feel led to his disappearance may have occurred either late on Dec. 8 or Dec. 9."
---
"They happened to realize he hadn't been at work for three days, so they in turn, got a hold of his landlord. His landlord went to the residence. They had a key to the house and went inside the house and found that the TV was on in the house and some lights were on in the house which, they say, was very odd for Mr. Riser," Snuffer said.

Detectives said they discovered blood inside the home that was enough to indicate there had been some sort of altercation in the house. Also of note, nothing was stolen from the home and a large amount of cash was still inside.
---
"We think it was personal. We think the crime happened. We think Samuel Riser knew the person who came into the house and possibly even left with them," Snuffer said.
---
"We know that Mr. Riser was involved with a female in the community. We've looked into that aspect. We don't feel that he was involved in anything illegal, any narcotics or anything like that," Snuffer said.
---
If you have any information about Riser's disappearance or where his body could be found, you can call 304-357-0169. You can also email them at [email protected] or submit a tip on their website.
