On August 22, 2020, charred remains inside a camper in Townville, South Carolina, were found to contain two homicide victims: 30-year-old Amy Jo Lambert and Billy Ray Johnson. Both victims had been shot multiple times before the fire was set, indicating the fire followed the shootings.

Investigators developed several leads. A person of interest named McKenzie Maxine Carey was identified. Separately, Leonard Piercefield and Payton Call were arrested in Georgia in a stolen vehicle; a handgun recovered from them was forensically linked to the bullets that killed Lambert and Johnson. A van belonging to one of the victims was also recovered. Because a person of interest was reportedly related to a deputy, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division took the lead from the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.

Many questions remain about motive and the full sequence of events in Lambert’s final hours. Does anyone have information about Amy Jo Lambert’s movements or acquaintances in Townville before August 22, 2020?
