Carolyn Marie Taurino, 57, was found murdered in her Flat Creek Road home in Kershaw, South Carolina, after deputies forced entry around 5 p.m. in February 2016. A double amputee who used a wheelchair, Taurino’s body was discovered on the floor in a bedroom doorway and later autopsy results showed seven gunshot wounds to the head from a .22 caliber long rifle. Neighbors had not noticed her absence for days.

The investigation began when Taurino’s 36-year-old son, Robert Allen Hypes, behaved suspiciously at a bank and left in a red Ford Econoline van; deputies later stopped that van and, after contacting Taurino’s out-of-state sister, conducted the welfare check that led to the discovery. Hypes was taken into custody, charged with his mother’s murder, booked into the Lancaster County Detention Center, and denied bail. Authorities said he was interviewed multiple times but did not disclose any statements, and the motive had not been released as relatives were being notified.

Does anyone have information about the family or that red Ford Econoline van that could help investigators?
