Alexander Blair Blakeney was 28 when he and his friend Brandon Dewayne Ferguson, 23, were reported missing from Walterboro, South Carolina, on January 30, 2018 after not being seen for three days. They were last seen on January 27 in a silver Nissan, Ferguson driving and Blakeney riding as a passenger. The car was found February 2 in an overgrown rural area off Jones Swamp Road; both men had been shot to death.

Investigators determined the killings occurred January 27 in Ruffin and that the bodies had been moved to the site where the Nissan was recovered. Surveillance from a church on Doctors Creek Road showed the Nissan with Ferguson driving and Blakeney in the passenger seat and a third person visible in the back; about twenty minutes later the car passed the same camera with a different driver. A witness later said they saw Jonathan Shamar Moore with a body he put into the trunk.

Jonathan Shamar Moore was arrested February 2, 2018, on charges connected to the deaths and an unrelated weapon charge. In March 2022 Moore pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and received concurrent sentences totaling 30 years plus five years for the gun charge. Does anyone have additional information about Alexander’s last day or movements in Walterboro on January 27, 2018?
