In the quiet community of Warrenville, South Carolina, a tragic discovery brought a somber end to the life of 47-year-old Cheryl Stone. Her body was found on October 13, 2016, though it is believed she had been deceased for approximately three weeks prior to being found. The circumstances surrounding her death pointed to a grim conclusion.
Alongside Cheryl Stone, authorities also discovered the body of a man at the scene.
The investigation into their deaths led officials to rule the incident a murder-suicide. It is believed that the man took his own life about a week after Cheryl Stone's death. This ruling suggests that the man found with her was the perpetrator of her death, leaving no suspect to be pursued by law enforcement.
The initial indication of trouble at the residence came weeks earlier when neighbors reported hearing a gunshot on September 27th. However, the tragic scene within the home remained undiscovered until mid-October. The case concluded with the determination of a murder-suicide, closing the investigation into any further suspects or arrests.
