On the evening of August 26, 2012, 22-year-old single mother June Guerry and her 18-year-old friend Dana Woods left Moncks Corner, South Carolina, for a meal and did not return. Dana made a brief call to her mother saying they were giving someone a ride; when both women failed to come home, families began a search. Several days later their bodies were found in the Francis Marion National Forest. Dana’s body was discovered about 75 yards from her burned-out car off Cane Gully Road; June’s was located roughly 10 miles away in a watery dirt pit near Walleye Road. Both had been shot in the back of the head in what investigators described as execution-style killings.

Police arrested two cousins who knew the victims: 23-year-old Caleb Brad Matlock and Arthur Ray Chavis. One of the men had been seen driving Dana’s car near where her body was found; Matlock was found in possession of the murder weapon. Chavis later said the plan had been to rob the women and steal the car for further robberies and that Matlock unexpectedly shot both victims.

Court proceedings resulted in guilty pleas: Matlock pleaded guilty to two counts of murder, armed robbery, and third-degree arson and received 55 years; Chavis pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and armed robbery and received 25 years. Does anyone who knew June or Dana have information about where they were the evening of August 26, 2012?
