Erica Morgan was 26 when she was found dead in her Bowman Road home in Bishopville, South Carolina, on the morning of May 22, 2008. Her boyfriend, Jermaine Joye, discovered her after she didn’t answer his calls; her three young daughters, ages three, four, and five, were inside the house and unharmed.

Early reports described Erica’s death as caused by severe blunt‑force trauma, while other reports said she had been shot, creating confusion about the exact cause. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office led the homicide investigation. Investigators identified 25‑year‑old Gregory McDaniel, an ex‑boyfriend, as a person of interest; he was taken into custody the day her body was found on outstanding assault and battery warrants Morgan had filed, but was released on bond and was never charged in the homicide.

The probe stalled for lack of evidence and the case grew cold, leaving many questions about who killed Erica and why. If anyone knew Erica, her whereabouts in late spring 2008, or has information that could help, please come forward.
