Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3148) and 3 other sources
Heyward Howard Jr., aged 36, was last seen on July 8, 1998, in Orlando, Florida. On that day, he and his friend Vincent Morgan borrowed a friend's car to travel to the Winter Garden home of another acquaintance, Conchita Latrice Slayton. The two men never returned, and no one has heard from them since. Investigators later found blood and bullet casings in Slayton’s home, leading to suspicions of foul play. In 2002, Slayton was charged with the murders of both Howard and Morgan.

In February 2003, Slayton directed authorities to a wooded area in Lake County, Florida, where she claimed to have disposed of the bodies. However, after a three-day search, no remains were found, and the case remains unsolved. Howard and Morgan have not been located, but authorities suspect that they were murdered based on the evidence recovered from Slayton's home. The exact outcome of the charges against Slayton is unknown, and the case remains classified as an unsolved missing persons investigation.
