Colee Alora Muirhead was 20 when she was found dead in a motel room at the Beachcomber Ocean Front Inn on South Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach on the morning of January 22, 2018. An autopsy determined she died of a single gunshot wound to the head, fired from about 18 inches away. Her family remembered her as a former standout golfer at St. James and Socastee high schools and as a young mother who loved her family and friends.

Police quickly identified 19-year-old Chandler Ari Dunmeyer, a U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Bragg, as a suspect. Prosecutors said Dunmeyer and Muirhead were involved in prostitution and that a disagreement between them led to the fatal shooting; prosecutors also reported Dunmeyer confessed. He was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, held briefly, then released on $50,000 bond under conditions that included military custody at Fort Bragg before being modified to allow him to live with relatives in Dorchester County. Neighbors later reported seeing him wandering in the neighborhood.

On August 5, 2018, while out on bond at his mother’s home in the Summerville area, Chandler Dunmeyer died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the criminal case ended. Does anyone have information about Colee’s last day or knew her in Myrtle Beach?
