Joann G. McCarthy, 74, was found dead in her Creekwood Lane home in Westminster, South Carolina, on Sunday, November 26, 2017. A retiree of the United States Postal Service who had moved to the area from New York, McCarthy showed no obvious cause of death at first, but the Oconee County Coroner discovered an injury on November 28 that prompted a full autopsy the next day.

The autopsy on November 29 determined McCarthy died from a single gunshot wound, and her death was officially ruled a homicide. Investigators have appealed for any information from people who were near Creekwood Lane in the early morning hours of November 26, 2017, and a cash reward is being offered for tips that lead to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about activity in that area on the morning of November 26, 2017, or other details that might help investigators?
