In the late summer of 2016, the quiet town of Jonesville, South Carolina, was unsettled by a grim discovery. On Wednesday, September 14, the body of 38-year-old Kenneth C. Therrell, a White male, was found lying on Lower Pump Hollow Road in front of an abandoned house. The initial discovery was met with suspicion by law enforcement, and the Union County Sheriff, David Taylor, immediately indicated that foul play was likely involved.
An autopsy confirmed the authorities' initial fears,
revealing that Kenneth Therrell had died from a single gunshot wound to the right side of his head, officially ruling his death a homicide. The investigation that followed involved the Jonesville City Police, the Union County Coroner's Office, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Investigators worked to determine whether Therrell had been killed at the location where his body was found or if he had been brought there after his death.
Despite the efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies, the case of Kenneth Therrell's murder has grown cold. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with his death, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The circumstances surrounding his killing remain a mystery, leaving a void in the lives of his family and a lingering sense of unease within the Jonesville community. The Union County Sheriff's Office has periodically sought information from the public in the hopes of generating new leads that could bring a resolution to the unsolved homicide.
