Carolyn Sue Bradley, 40, was working as a clerk at the Highland Meadows general store in Independence Township when she was shot twice in June 1990. A customer found her on the floor; she was alive when discovered but died en route to the hospital. She was a wife and mother of four.

Investigators followed a lead from a witness who reported an unusual vehicle, an early 1970s green Ford Maverick, which pointed them to a primary suspect from West Virginia. Authorities were unable to develop enough evidence to charge him, and the investigation eventually went cold. The man later died in 2008 in custody for an unrelated armed robbery, and no one was ever charged in Bradley’s killing.

The murder remains unsolved and continues to haunt her family and the community. If anyone remembers seeing a green early 1970s Ford Maverick in Independence Township around that June morning, please come forward with information.
