Harriett Ann Mahaffey, 65, was found dead in her Heath Springs, South Carolina, home on Stewart Place on March 4, 2024. A family member who had been unable to reach her for several days discovered her with multiple gunshot wounds; investigators recovered eleven shell casings near her body. The front door was unlocked and there were no signs of forced entry.

Mahaffey’s white 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee was missing from the residence and was later seen in Chester and the Charlotte region. Police identified and arrested 23-year-old neighbor Lloyd Caldwell Jr. in Chester County; authorities recovered the stolen Jeep and say evidence connects him to the killing. Caldwell was booked into the Lancaster County Detention Center on charges including murder, first-degree burglary, grand larceny over $2,000, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, and was denied bond. Law enforcement described the slaying as a crime of opportunity and said no motive has been established.

Did anyone in Heath Springs know Mahaffey’s movements in the days before March 4 or have information about the Jeep’s whereabouts?
