The Fayette County Coroner has released the identity of a man who was found dead inside a house in Lexington Monday night.

The coroner said Tuesday just after noon that 54-year-old Glenn Roderick Sanford died of a gunshot wound. The case is now being investigated as a homicide, the coroner said.

Sanford’s body was discovered in a house on Silver Maple Way, between East Fourth and Fifth, around 5:00 p.m. Monday.

Crime scene tape was still left out on the scene Tuesday morning as it remained active throughout the night, and the coroner had left out a note on the door advising that no one was allowed inside to disturb the scene.

Police cruisers, the Fayette County Coroner, the Commonwealth’s Attorney and the mobile crime lab were on scene as the investigation developed.

The coroner had previously said the man had not died of natural causes and the agencies involved stayed tight-lipped about the investigation until autopsy results were complete Tuesday.

A neighbor and friend of Sanford’s described him as a good guy who kept to himself.

“He never had problems with people. Always offering an extra plate to everybody,” said neighbor and friend Christian D. “Never thought he had a problem with anybody. And I was shocked whenever I was pulling up yesterday to my house, seeing all these police cars. You can’t say nothing bad about him.”

Two men have been charged in connection with eight recent robberies in Lexington.

Richard Squires, 36 and Brian Jackson, 23 are accused of multiple count of first degree robbery.

The most recent was Monday night at the GameStop in Hamburg Pavilion.

The string of robberies happened in a span of five days.

It’s almost as if a Chesapeake man disappeared into thin air. Nathan Read has been missing for 12 years, but the wounds are still fresh for his family.

More than anything, Read’s parents wants to know what happened to him, and if he’s still alive.

“I wonder what happened to him,” said Read’s mother, Helena Read. “He totally vanished! There has never been a lead in this case, nothing.”

The last time Helena saw her son was at his father’s house on Overbrook Avenue in Chesapeake on August 17,2002. Nathan Read was 23-years-old at the time. Police say he left his home with identification and no money.

“I remember he stuck his head in the door and said, ‘I’m going for a bicycle ride,’ and that was it,” Helena Read said.

Read was never seen again. Over the years, his parents grew even more worried because Nathan is schizophrenic and cannot live on his own. Helena said Nathan has run off in the past, but he always came back home.

“The first thing I thought was, ‘Oh, well they are going to arrest him somewhere.’ That is usually the normal procedure for a mentally ill person,” she said.

Then, on Labor Day weekend 2002, police found Read’s bike locked up on the boardwalk at the Oceanfront. The discovery only deepened the mystery.

“I thought, ‘maybe someone stole the bike and took it there’,” said Helena Read. “Maybe he took it there. Everything was a maybe.”

Months have turned to years now, and Read’s family still worries like his disappearance happened yesterday.

“As a mother, it is the worst thing that can happen to a parent,” said Helena Read.

For years, Helena searched shelters, scoured states and streets looking for her son — with no luck.

“I’m always hoping that he will come back or somebody will turn him in or he will return,” she said.

Investigators tell 10 On Your Side no one has used Nathan’s ID or stolen his identity. They believe something is keeping him from coming home and picking up on the life he left behind.

“I keep hoping,” said Helena Read. “Of course, it is difficult. It’s horrendously difficult.”

Nathan is 5’9 and 140 pounds. He was last seen wearing shorts, boat shoes, a t-shirt, and a headband. Police say it’s possible he may be going by a different name.

If you have any information on Nathan’s whereabouts contact Detective Branch with the Chesapeake Police Department at 757-382-8458.
