On the evening of May 3, 2024, 34-year-old Justin Scott Gasper was last seen leaving his home on Shivers Lane in Liberty, South Carolina. He departed on foot at approximately 10:00 p.m., wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and dark-colored shoes. Gasper was described as being 5'7" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. His family and the Pickens County Sheriff's Office became concerned for his welfare when he did not return and could not be contacted, prompting a
public appeal for information regarding his whereabouts.
As the search for Justin Gasper continued, his family offered a substantial $11,000 reward for information that could lead to his location. The Pickens County Sheriff's Office urged anyone with information to come forward as they continued their investigation into his disappearance. The days turned into weeks with no sign of Gasper, leaving his family and the community anxious for answers. The circumstances surrounding his departure on foot into the night remained a central part of the investigation as authorities worked to piece together his last known movements.
Tragically, the search for Justin Gasper came to a heartbreaking end. In July 2024, individuals using land grading equipment discovered human remains in a heavily wooded area near Gasper's home. The Pickens County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene on Shivers Lane and noted that there were no immediate signs of foul play. It took a long and complex process for a positive identification to be made. In April 2026, the Pickens County Coroner's Office confirmed that the remains were those of Justin Scott Gasper. The official cause and manner of his death were not publicly released. The case, which began as a missing person report, concluded nearly two years later, leaving a family to grieve the loss of their loved one.Last Seen: May 3, 2024
