S.C. Serial Killer Blamed in 4 Deaths
Manhunt on for Suspect In 6-Day Murder Spree; Police Say No Evidence Killer Knew His Victims
Investigators in Cherokee County, S.C. say that a fourth murder has been linked to a killer who's been on a rampage for the last several days. (CBS)
(AP) Sheriff's deputies searched Friday for a serial killer blamed for four deaths over the past six days as terrified residents wondered who might be next.
Investigators have not figured out how the victims are linked or if they knew the man who shot them. So far, all they have is a sketch of a suspect and a possible getaway vehicle, said Cherokee County Sheriff Bill Blanton.
"There's no evidence there is a hit list," Blanton said. "There's no evidence he knows the victims. There's no evidence the victims are connected."
But plenty of evidence links the killings, said Blanton, who would not provide details.
"Yes, we have a serial killer," he said at a news conference.
The latest victims were found in their family's small furniture and appliance shop in the small town of Gaffney, South Carolina, around closing time Thursday. Stephen Tyler, 45, was killed, and his 15-year-old daughter was shot and seriously injured. Tyler's wife, his older daughter and an employee found them, County Coroner Dennis Fowler said.
The latest killing happened one day and about 7 miles from where family members found the bodies of 83-year-old Hazel Linder and her 50-year-old daughter, Gena Linder Parker, bound and shot in Linder's home. Blanton would not say if Tyler and his daughter were also bound.
The killing spree began last Saturday about 10 miles from Tyler's shop. Peach farmer Kline Cash, 63, was found shot in his living room. Investigators said he appeared to have been robbed, but they haven't determined if anything was taken in the latest killings.
The shootings have prompted fear in Cherokee County, 50 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina, and home to about 54,000 people. The county had just six homicides in all of 2008, and that was double the number reported the year before.
Residents have "their guard up and their gun handy," said Sen. Harvey Peeler, a Republican who represents the area in the state legislature.

Three Deaths in South Carolina Linked to Same Killer, Police Say - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
Please Help Find This Man
NEW: “They are the same” Cherokee County and Gaffney City crimes connected
NEW Sources tell me the three murders in Cherokee County and the murder and shooting at a store in Gaffney Thursday night are related. My source says “They are the same.”
NEW Cherokee County Coroner Id’s victims and releases crime details.
Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler is investigatingthe death of the owner of a Gaffney business. Fowleridentified the deceased as 48 year old Stephen HylandTyler of 189 Farm Wind Road, Gaffney.
According to the coroner, Tyler was shot inside his business, Tyler HomeCenter, located at 612 East Frederick Street Thursdayevening. Fowler pronounced Tyler dead at the scene andhas ordered an autopsy for later this morning in Newberryto assist with his investigation of the death which hesaid is being considered a homicide.
Tyler’s 15 year old daughter was also injured in the incident and ishospitalized at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.Fowler said Mr. Tyler’s wife and older daughter, alongwith an employee, discovered the victims in the businessunresponsive about 7:15 p.m.
The latest incident is the 4th homicide in Cherokee County in thelast 5 days.
There is a little more information I can give you on how to protect yourself, based on my conversations with law enforcement. Officials say the suspect doesn’t look as scary as that sketch. In fact, you won’t think a thing about him if he approaches. He will look/seem harmless. Could even be someone you know and trust.
I’m told the most important thing you can do if anyone approaches - is call 911 right away - and give a vehicle and person description.
Officials are also certain that the suspect is known to someone. That someone has a gut feeling about someone they know, as they look at the sketch, think about the blue van or champaigne colored explorer and think about when the crimes have occurred. Saturday afternoon. Wednesday afternoon. And then 7 Thursday night.
Watch the Thursday news conference replay linking all three killings in the county to this one suspect.
It was just Thursday morning, when the Sheriff of Cherokee County revealed the murder of a mom and daughter in Cherokee County is linked to the murder of a man just days earlier and just a few miles away.
The man pictured above is their suspect. A dark van and a champaigne colored explorer have been suggested as suspect vehicles. The sheriff says the killer is targeting women, even though the first victim killed was a man. Investigators describe two vehicles of interest a dark colored Van and now a Gold/Champaigne Ford Explorer as well, late model.
They think Kline Cash’s wife was actually the first intended victim. The sheriff says this killer is unpredicatble and could kill anyone. I’m told the area of Laurens Union Cherokee Spartanburg York and border NC counties need to be on their toes and don’t answer the door for anyone.
People in Cherokee County are scared. They’re posting on Facebook telling me with five unsolved shootings in a week, they’re uneasy. Two teachers, one retired, one still working, Gena Parker of Anderson and her mom, Hazel Linder, who lived on Buck Shoals Road off Highway 11, were the people found murdered Wednesday.
Gena was a third grade teacher at Calhoun Academy of the Arts in Anderson. From what I’ve learned, Gena carried on a tradition of teaching that started with her parents, who were teachers and school administrators.
I wanted to share some pictures here of Gena from Facebook. Gena was one of my Facebook friends. Under this picture from school Gena wrote about the rainy day that left her and another teacher with a room full of bored third graders. So they improvised those outfits with stuff around the room, to entertain the students. I can only imagine how her students will miss her.
Gina has two teenage sons who will miss her even more.
Sadly authorities say her husband Scott, found his wife and mother in law. Scott who you see below pictured with Gena, is an assistant coach at Newberry and an administrator in Greenwood County Schools where he is Assistant Principal at Ninety Six High School. He’s coached at North Greenville and TL Hanna as well. Thousands of people in the Upstate know this family, now devastated by a brutal crime.
Gena just posted on Facebook today that she was “very happy” after taking a Facebook quiz, what would turn out to be one of her final posts.
Another friend of Gena’s who is a friend of mine posted this on my page tonight.
Jonna Turner posts: “It is HORRIBLE , my road , my church, my church road, our friends….God bring those responsible to justice…she would have been at prayer meeting tonight.”
Our hearts go out to friends and family in this case and in the unsolved murder of Kline Cash. We hope authorities can figure out what is going on soon. Sadly one of you posted below that the funeral was underway for Mr. Cash Wednesday afternoon, when relatives started receiving text messages of the crime involving the Linder and Parker families.
We welcome friends and family of the Tyler’s to post here and share pictures and memories as well. Our hearts break for each of these families devastated by the violence.

Enough
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged, and the mother said, 'I love you, and I pray you enough.' The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.' They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?' Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?' 'Well...I'm not as young as I once was, she lives so far away & has her own busy life. I have some challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said. 'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough.' May I ask what that means?' She began to smile. 'That's a prayer that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.' Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory. I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear. I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more. I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting. I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger. I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye. Then, she began to cry, and walked away. They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them. TAKE TIME TO LIVE..... To all my friends and loved ones, I PRAY YOU ENOUGH.......

My very first knit doily!!!! The picture doen't do it justice, because it has yet to be blocked properly. I am awaiting the arrival of a vintage 1948 doily stretcher I found on Ebay to be able to block this properly. I love the way the doily looks, but I still find many, many areas that need improvement.

Stash
Just spent most of today trying to get this mess organized so I can find what I have. I ordered a ton of spacebags and used those to store my "less expensive" (i.e. cheap) yarns. The nicer stuff I continued to store in the plastic boxes for easy access. It is hard to tell from these photos, but believe me, this looks one million percent better than it did about 6 hours ago. Now on to tackle pattern organization!!!!
