Stacey Brooke Holsonback was 19 and a freshman studying biochemistry at Clemson University when she was killed in February 1997. Known as Brooke to family and friends, she was last seen the evening of February 19 after joining two male classmates, Bryant Gallup and Jeff Dubnansky, for mud-bogging near Seneca. The men say the truck became stuck, an argument followed, and Holsonback walked off into the woods alone; they reported being unable to find her and returned to their dorm.

Her body was found the next day in a small cove of Lake Hartwell, a recovered distance of more than two miles from where she was last seen. An autopsy ruled the cause of death homicide by manual strangulation and noted possible evidence of sexual assault. Gallup and Dubnansky were named persons of interest and moved out of South Carolina; investigators have publicly questioned the men’s account but no charges were filed. Heavy rains that night and the body’s time in water were cited as factors limiting evidence. A multiagency task force has worked the case, which remains unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Brooke or who was in the Seneca or Lake Hartwell area on February 19–20, 1997, see or hear anything that could help investigators?
