    Case of Raleigh man's disappearance now being investigated as a homicide, police say

    RALEIGH (WTVD) -- The disappearance of a Raleigh man from the Cameron Village area is now being investigated as a homicide, according to Raleigh Police Department.

    No charges have been filed in the case, but officers said they suspect foul play is involved in Andy Banks' disappearance.

    Banks has not been seen or heard from since Saturday, when he told friends he was going to the Cameron Village area to meet a man who was interested in buying his SUV.

    The stolen SUV was found Monday afternoon in Danville, Virginia. On Tuesday, Justin Fernando Merritt, 34, has been arrested and accused of stealing Banks' SUV.

    Merritt was extradited to Raleigh on Wednesday morning. Newly released warrants said Merritt used a gun to threaten Banks and steal his 2011 Range Rover.

    Banks has still not been located.

    By Wednesday morning, Merritt had been moved to Wake County Detention Center. He is being held on a $265,000 secured bond, and he is expected to appear in front of a judge sometime Wednesday.

    So very sad.

    Body of missing Raleigh man found in Virginia, police say

    RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – The body of a 39-year-old man missing since Saturday afternoon is believed to have been located in Virginia, Raleigh police said.

    William “Andy” Banks’ body was discovered in Virginia with help from the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.

    Bank’s body will be sent to the coroner in Roanoke, Virginia for an autopsy.

    Justin Fernando Merritt, of Danville, Virginia was arrested Monday in relation to the disappearance of Banks.

    The Chatham Star Tribune reports the body was found on a farm on Beechnut Road in rural Chatham.

    Public records show Merritt once lived on Dry Fork Road – which is around a mile from Beechnut Road.

    Beechnut Road is around 12 miles northwest of Danville.

    Banks, 39, was last seen Saturday afternoon after his family said he was meeting someone in the K&W Cafeteria parking lot at Cameron Village about selling his 2011 Silver Range Rover Sport.

    Banks’ Range Rover was located in Danville on Monday.

    Merritt was charged with robbery, larceny of motor vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with the stolen vehicle.

    Merritt wasn’t served with those warrants until he was brought to Raleigh. The 34-year-old waived extradition early Tuesday.
