Little hope left for 行方不明の Ohio couple in year-old 事例／患者
CLEVELAND (AP) - Family members and 法律 施行 公式の／役人s agree there is little hope that a 穏やかな-mannered couple last seen a year ago in eastern Ohio is alive today and that it's likely they were killed by someone.
But what they still find confounding is why anyone would have killed 56-year-old Joni Davis and her longtime boyfriend and caregiver, 65-year-old Brian Goff. They say the couple kept to themselves, 固執するd to what's been 述べるd as comfortable 決まりきった仕事 Goff 工夫するd, and rarely 投機・賭けるd away from the Ohio River communities where they had grown up and spent most of their lives.
"I want to know who did it, and why they did it," said Jackie Davis, Joni's sister. "I don't know what would 原因（となる） someone to 傷つける those two people. They would be the last two people in the world that something bad would happen to."
The Belmont and Jefferson 郡 郡保安官's offices, the 連邦検察局, the Ohio Bureau of 犯罪の 調査 and other 機関s have been engaged in an exhaustive search for the couple and Goff's car, a 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Belmont 郡 探偵，刑事 Sgt. Randy Stewart said a "no 持つ／拘留するs 閉めだした" 調査 has 含むd the use of cadaver dogs, dive teams with sonar gear, 航空機 飛行機で行くing hundreds of miles and 捜査官／調査官s with 家宅捜査令状s 捜し出すing 証拠 at homes.
Goff's car was last spotted June 10, 2018, by a gas 駅／配置する 監視 camera 長，率いるd north in Belmont 郡, not long after the couple had dined, as usual on Sunday nights, at a Pizza Hut.
The last ping from Goff's cellphone was in 隣接地の Jefferson 郡. After that, the couple essentially 消えるd.

Stewart said there are persons of 利益／興味 in the 事例／患者 and that 捜査官／調査官s are "looking at people の近くに to the family." He doesn't think Goff and Davis will be 設立する alive.
"I think it will take a 自白 or the reward to lead us the 場所 of the 団体／死体s," said Stewart.
Jefferson 郡 郡保安官 Fred Abdalla said that a reward will be 発表するd soon.
"We're still doing everything we can かもしれない do, but now we're up against a 塀で囲む and don't know which way to turn," Abdalla said.
Goff and Davis met at a picnic around 25 years ago, and had been a couple ever since, Jackie Davis said. Their 関係 became 複雑にするd when Joni at age 35 failed to wake up one morning a nd remained in a 昏睡 for months. After a long stay at a rehabilitation 施設, によれば Jackie Davis, Joni re-learned how to walk, speak and 料金d herself. But her brain 損失 was 永久の, and she 要求するd fulltime care.
Jackie Davis said their mother cared for Joni until the mother's death five years ago. Goff then assumed that 役割. The couple lived with Goff's twin brother, Colin, at Colin's home in ツバメs フェリー（で運ぶ）.
It's improbable that Joni could have 生き残るd the last year without her anti-seizure 医薬, Jackie Davis said. And she remains puzzled why Goff would have driven north toward Jefferson 郡 that evening. He hated 運動ing at night. And unfailingly, he would 運動 to the same gas 駅／配置する after supper to buy a pack of cigarettes and then to Arby's, where he would 選ぶ up an iced tea to take home to Joni.
"Everyone knew 正確に／まさに what time he would be there," Jackie Davis said. "Something made him 逸脱する from his 決まりきった仕事."
Goff's brother, Bruce, who lives outside Columbus, is not 楽観的な.
"You just have a feeling there was some foul play 伴う／関わるd," he said. "And, if that's the 事例／患者, it's very ありそうもない they will be 設立する alive."
