Emanuel Torres, 24, was last seen walking near his Arlene Road home in Manning, South Carolina, on the evening of February 27, 2015. Family members described him as a homebody who rarely left the neighborhood. Concern grew when he did not return and, on March 3, 2015, a local farmer found a burned vehicle off Fawn Ridge containing human remains later identified as Torres.

An autopsy determined Torres died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head; the vehicle had been set on fire, which investigators described as an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. The Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office arrested three people in connection with the case: Shanta Arleene Reason, Travis Terrill Starks, and Barbara Deann Judy. Reason pleaded guilty to murder and armed robbery and received a 35-year sentence for murder with a concurrent 30-year term for armed robbery. Starks pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder and was sentenced to 13 years. Judy pleaded to accessory after the fact to a felony and received a five-year sentence that was suspended to time served and 18 months probation.

Are there details about Emanuel’s last movements on February 27 that anyone in the Manning area can add?
