I agree. Spree killer but how can they be so certain that the cases are not
linked? Remember the Beltway Sniper and how those cases were apparently
unrelated.

I think it may have been premature to announce a serial killer without having
more information as to present to the public. My girlfriend lives in SC and says
that they way the story is being reported has the entire community frightened.

who might be next.

shop near downtown Gaffney 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 in Tyler Home Center, County
Coroner Dennis Fowler said.

daughter, Gena Linder Parker, bound and shot in Linder's home. Blanton would not
say if Tyler and his daughter were also bound.

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.

Charlotte, N.C., 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.

Peeler, R-Gaffney, who recalled the area being terrorized once before, in the
1960s, by a serial killer dubbed the Gaffney Strangler who murdered several
women before he was caught.

can cut the tension with a knife," Peeler said. "People are locking their doors,
even in broad daylight."

> The latest shootings took place less than a half-mile from the sheriff's
office, the command center where at least 30 investigators were already working
on the case. Blanton said a profiler has brought up the possibility that Tyler
and his daughter were shot to taunt investigators, but he said his only concern
is solving the case.

people of this community don't deserve that. And it doesn't look like he shows
much concern or remorse," Blanton said.

them to call 911 to report anything suspicious. He also advised salesmen and
others to avoid knocking on strangers' doors with so many on heightened alert.
