Coroner: Teen 5th killed by apparent serial killer

GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) - A teenage girl shot while helping her father in their family's small furniture and appliance store died Saturday, becoming the fifth victim of a suspected serial killer terrorizing a small South Carolina community, authorities said.

Abby Tyler, 15, died about 11:15 a.m. at a Spartanburg hospital after fighting for her life for two days, Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler said.

Tyler was wounded and her father was killed Thursday as they worked to close the Tyler Home Center near downtown Gaffney.

County Sheriff Bill Blanton said investigators believe the killings are linked and the search is on for a suspected male serial killer. An 83-year-old mother and her daughter were shot to death Wednesday, and a 63-year-old peach farmer was found dead at his home a week ago.

Blanton said all the victims were shot, but he would not say how the deaths were linked. The shootings all occurred within about 10 miles of each other in Cherokee County, a rural community of 54,000 people set amid peach orchards and farms some 50 miles west of Charlotte, N.C.

The spree had alarmed residents canceling Independence Day holiday plans and arming themselves. The sheriff has warned door-to-door salesmen to stop knocking and anyone who breaks down on the county's rural roads to wait instead of walking to a house for help because he worries "people are going to start shooting at shadows."

The killings began a week ago Saturday when the wife of 63-year-old peach farmer Kline Cash found him dead in their home. Then last Wednesday, relatives found 83-year-old Hazel Linder and her 50-year-old daughter, Gena Linder Parker, bound and shot to death in a separate shooting at Linder's home.

Dozens of local, state and federal investigators were assigned to the case when the killings were linked. But a day later, the killer struck again, less than a half-mile from the sheriff's office serving as the headquarters for the investigation, killing 48-year-old Stephen Tyler and his daughter.

"We're knee-deep in the investigation," Blanton said Sunday. "There's fear and concern here and there should be concern."

Investigators have released a sketch of the suspect, saying he is in his 40s, with salt and pepper hair, about 6-foot-2, and roughly 200 pounds. They think he is driving a silver 1991-1994 Ford Explorer.

These murders are happening so fast, it would seem there is little time to investigate.

I just became aware of this story as I was driving back from the Myrtle Beach on the 4th.

Suspect is a white male, Danno. Do you think that maybe these victims would have been spared if he wasn't a white male?

and he's probably a republican too!

A serial killer is a typical white male, 20-30, and most of them are usually in the USA.

....

A mass killer is a a very angry and frustrated white male, 25-40, who may be suffering from some sort of mental problem.

....

Your conclusion, Danno? I'd like to get your thoughts on this statistic.

I don't see this same level of defensiveness from the "defend the white male" contingent when fellow members malign blacks, gays or latinos based on a statistical fact such as that stated by Steven above.

My gracious Tamara! I hope your friends are ok!! I wonder if a lot of people are trying to get out of town. But then again, for how long would you stay away. I really feel for these people. I don't know where this town is in relation to where I'll be moving too.

I hope they find this guy and quick! Sooner or later, they always leave some kind of slip up.

My friend the facts are.. what they are.

You don't see me trying to cloud the truth of the stats like you and others often do.

If I were a cop, I would be "primarily" looking for the most logical, typical perp in this case and any other.

I also hope when they catch this guy he gets fried in "The Chair".

See how "even handed" I am

Danno, there's a difference between a fact and drawing a conclusion based on facts. Since you openly gave your conclusion that you believe there is a connection between being a homosexual and pedophilia, I'd like to know what kind of conclusion would you draw from these facts about mass murderers above?

No sh!t. It must be because of that siege on being white and male in America or sumting like it.
