Dana Foster, a 50-year-old fifth-grade teacher at Byrd Elementary School in Graniteville, South Carolina, was found shot multiple times in her master bedroom on the evening of Wednesday, February 16, 2022. Deputies responding to a call discovered signs of forced entry at the back door and Foster’s body on the bedroom floor.

Investigators identified her 30-year-old son-in-law, Alexander Ambrose Carl of Gloverville, as a suspect. Carl was located and taken into custody without incident about 3.5 miles from the scene on Red Rock Way and was arrested on charges of murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and first-degree burglary. Authorities have not publicly disclosed a motive.

Foster had lived in Aiken since 1999, taught at Byrd Elementary for more than 13 years, and coached youth basketball. Does anyone in the Graniteville or Aiken school community have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
