Mr. Conner disappeared from the Chicago area while teaching piano at Chicago Conservatory College/Sherwood College of Music. Mr. Conner had recently graduated from the Chicago Conservatory College/Sherwood College of Music. He had recently won the 1973 Conservatory Piano Competition of Chicago, and received an honorable mention in the 1974 Conservatory Composition Contest for his "Trio Sonata for Violin, Clarinet, and Bassoon." He was soon going to become music director at the Tabor Church of Chicago, and had been serving as musical director and pianist for the Columbia School of Theater, now Columbia College. The Chicago Conservatory College closed in 1981. Sherwood College of Music is now part of Columbia College.
Mr. Conner, a talented pianist and composer originally from the Santa Fe/Los Alamos, New Mexico area, also taught piano to local children while studying at Los Alamos High School. He would come back to Santa Fe during the holidays and summer breaks to give concerts and work on commissioned pieces. Texas authorities are investigating this case.
