Irene Pressley, 64, was a longtime mail carrier in the rural Andrews, South Carolina area. On a Monday in September 2019 she began her route but was found later that afternoon shot to death inside her postal vehicle on a remote Williamsburg County road. Authorities ruled the death a homicide and both local and federal agencies opened an investigation.

Investigators say two men were awaiting a package of marijuana addressed to one of them. When Pressley left a notice for pickup instead of delivering the parcel, the men tried to intercept it. One of the men allegedly armed himself with an AR-15, ambushed Pressley as she continued deliveries, and fired roughly twenty rounds into her vehicle. The shooter then drove her vehicle a few miles to a secluded access road and searched the mail before fleeing. A fingerprint belonging to one of the suspects was recovered on mail near Pressley’s body, tying him to the scene.

Does anyone have information about Pressley’s route or who may have seen suspicious activity that day?
