A landowner found two bodies in a wooded clearing off Richbow Road in Rembert, South Carolina, on August 8, 2025. One was identified as 35-year-old Christine Marie McAbee, a white female; the other was 38-year-old Kristen N. Grissom of North Charleston. The discovery prompted a double homicide investigation involving the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, with the North Charleston Police Department also joining the probe.

An autopsy established that Christine Marie McAbee died from a gunshot wound on or about August 7, 2025. Investigators initially thought the women had been killed elsewhere and their bodies moved to the clearing, but later considered that McAbee may have been shot at the scene. Authorities described the killings as isolated and targeted and announced a reward for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Christine McAbee, her movements before August 7, or saw suspicious activity near Richbow Road, please share information with investigators.
