Benjamin Patterson was 23 when his body was found near a footpath between 713 and 801 Dunbar Street in Greenville, South Carolina, on September 26, 1993. An autopsy confirmed he had been shot to death, and he was discovered draped over a tree branch and wearing women’s clothing — a detail investigators have noted as unusual and unexplained.

Evidence indicated the footpath was likely a secondary scene: investigators concluded Patterson had been shot elsewhere and his body moved. Witnesses reported a loud argument followed by gunfire in the period before the body was found, suggesting a violent confrontation preceded the killing. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified.

A $2,000 reward is being offered for tips that could help solve the case. Does anyone recall hearing about a disturbance or seeing something suspicious near Dunbar Street in late September 1993?
