Thomas Hardin, 35, was found dead inside her home on Lowry Row in York, South Carolina, after a concerned friend requested a welfare check on the evening of Sunday, May 2, 2021. An officer arriving just after 8:30 p.m. discovered the front door slightly ajar and Hardin unresponsive on the floor; CPR was attempted but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials did not immediately release an official cause of death, but friends and neighbors reported she had been shot and police opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators focused on a former romantic partner, Tyler Terry, whom friends said Hardin had evicted months earlier after giving him a place to live; those friends also said Terry had sent threatening messages to Hardin. Authorities alleged Terry did not act alone and identified Adrienne Simpson as an accomplice who drove the getaway car the night Hardin was killed. Both Terry and Simpson were taken into custody; Terry was charged with Hardin’s murder and Simpson was charged as an accessory after the fact.

Did anyone in York know Thomas, or have information about her last day or the people named in the investigation?
