Sylvia Sudduth Holtzclaw, 56, was killed during a robbery at her job as branch manager at Blue Ridge Savings and Loan in Greer, South Carolina, on the afternoon of May 16, 2003. She was the lone employee on duty when a silent alarm was triggered; dispatchers’ attempt to reach the bank was answered and then disconnected. Police arrived about 1:45 p.m. and found Sylvia and two customers, James Eb Barnes and his wife Maggie, shot and killed in a utility room.

Investigators say the victims had been moved to a back room and shot execution-style with a .40-caliber Glock pistol in what was estimated to have taken no more than 15 minutes. Only the victims’ vehicles were in the parking lot when officers arrived. Despite an intensive investigation that produced a composite sketch of a man seen leaving the area in a red car, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. A reward remains available for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone in Greer at the time see a red car or a suspicious person around the bank on May 16, 2003?
