On a March day in 2019, the quiet community of Adams Run, South Carolina, was disturbed by a grim discovery. The body of 41-year-old Elizabeth D. Germany of Walterboro was found on the side of Parker's Ferry Road. It was shortly before noon on March 6th when a man searching for his dog came across her remains near the entrance of Miller's Boat Landing and immediately alerted Charleston County deputies.
Upon their arrival, investigators determined that the woman, a female, had been shot,
and the case was quickly ruled a homicide. The Charleston County Coroner's Office later confirmed that a gunshot wound was the cause of her death. As the investigation progressed, a suspect emerged. Ashante Green, a 30-year-old man from Adams Run and reportedly Germany's ex-boyfriend, was identified by authorities.
On the same day that Germany's body was discovered, Green had been arrested on unrelated charges, including unlawful carrying of a pistol, reckless driving, and possession of marijuana, following a traffic stop in the vicinity of where she was found. He remained in custody at the Charleston County Detention Center. On April 5, 2019, while still incarcerated, Green was served with warrants for murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in connection with Germany's death. He appeared in bond court where he was denied bond on the murder charge.
