murder of Brian Schuch<\/a>, more than three decades after he was found dead in Tampa.<\/p>\nSchuch was killed on July 21, 1994. He and another man left a bar on South Howard, stopped by an apartment complex, then left. Later that night, Schuch was found dead, beaten and stabbed, just off Caracas Street in Tampa. No one has been charged.<\/p>\n
Now, Schuch\u2019s widow, Lauren, and mother, Barbara, are hoping new billboards across Tampa will bring in information they believe could help solve the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really didn\u2019t think this was going to go on for 32 years,\u201d Lauren said.<\/p>\n
Lauren and Barbara said they have carried the questions surrounding the killing for decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe person that did this took a loving husband, father, hardworking man, and has left his family with only memories,\u201d Barbara said.<\/p>\n
Lauren said the family will keep pushing for answers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s not going to be a stop to it. We need answers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
One billboard is along Nebraska Avenue, near where the father of three was found beaten and stabbed. Another is near the area where his truck was discovered days later.<\/p>\n
Barbara Schuch said the family hopes the billboards will reach someone who remembers something from that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anything, maybe they\u2019ll look at it and somehow or another realize or recognize or remember something that happened many years ago,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
For Lauren and Barbara, life has kept moving, even when the case didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have children to raise, a job to do. You have to move on in that respect, but you\u2019re also back here,\u201d Lauren said.<\/p>\n
The family said they refuse to let hope, or Brian\u2019s memory, fade.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough. Come forward and ease your own conscience,\u201d Lauren said.<\/p>\n
Lauren said she wants people to remember her husband for who he was.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis name is Brian Keith Schuch Sr. That is who he is, and he has been and always will be our life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The family said no tip is too small.
