William Alexander Alex Apps was a 25-year-old College of Charleston student who was killed after arranging to sell his pickup truck. On October 3, 2013, Apps met two men who responded to his Craigslist ad; during a test drive across the Ravenel Bridge he was shot. His body was later found in a wooded area in Mount Pleasant.

Investigators traced the two men to Apps’s truck and debit card being used in the days after his disappearance. Those leads led to arrests; one of the suspects confessed and directed police to the body. Charges brought included murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery, and evidence shown in the investigation included text messages seeking a gun before the meeting, with theft of the truck identified as the apparent motive.

If anyone knew Apps, saw him on October 3, 2013, or has information about the meeting arranged through the Craigslist ad, please share what is known.
