Using the bash shell in Windows 10, I did a grep search on every issue of Variant Chess, and I didn't find any mention of Banshee. I did another search for Nightrider just to make sure I was doing it correctly, and I got a list of results. Since Jelliss's page is dated even later than Betza's and Paulowich's use of the piece, it's still unknown whether the piece goes back any further than Betza's game in 1995.
