According to coverage by the Bradenton Herald, Richard was suspected of killing a 63-year-old woman in Fairfax County, Virginia in late July 1980.

just days before the boat ramp murders.

Afterwards, he'd stolen her credit cards and car and fled to Florida to evade capture.

The FBI had chased Richard to the Sunshine State, but were unable to pinpoint his location until the couple from Hyde Park called.

A Tampa police detective interviewed Richard and asked him if he was involved in the Kingfish boat ramp killings, but Richard denied being the perpetrator.

He admitted to the murder he'd committed in Virginia, but was adamant he had nothing to do with the situation in home speech.

He claimed his alibi for August 1st was that he'd been at a mission for unhoused people in Tampa during the time frame of the murders.

When investigators went to verify that story, they learned that Richard had in fact been at the facility in Tampa at 6 p.m.

on August 1st.

He'd signed the registry book for the mission and there were witnesses that worked for the facility who remembered seeing him in the food line as early as 5.05 p.m.

That information was kind of all the proof authorities needed to be confident to clear him, since he couldn't have had enough time to commit the crime in Holmes Beach shortly after 5 p.m.

and then gotten back to the mission in Tampa, in order to be seen in the food line at 5 after 5 o'clock.

In addition to having a solid alibi, Richard's fingerprints didn't match some of the prints authorities had managed to pull from the crime scene.

So shortly after he came on law enforcement's radar, he was formally cleared as a suspect in the boat ramp case.

But he was later extradited back to Virginia to face the murder case against him there.

Annie, Raymond Barrow's daughter, told me in our interview that despite what authorities initially told the press back in 1980, which was that her dad said Richard had similar features as the shooter, she said that when Raymond actually saw Richard's picture on television after the crime, he'd immediately uttered that he was not the guy who was responsible.

So with Richard off the board, investigators refocused their efforts on pursuing other leads that had come in.

According to reporting by WFTS, there were about two dozen additional persons of interest that were looked into.

Within a week of the crime, the Dumois family made funeral arrangements.

Carol Jenkins reported for the Tampa Tribune that Juan, Mark, and Eric were all laid to rest in a joint funeral service at a Catholic church in Tampa.
