Do you know who murdered Oscar Rice and Ernest \Chick\ Bolden in 1986? In the late summer of 1986, on September 8th, a grim discovery was made inside a residence on Martin Street in Greenville, South Carolina. The bodies of two men, one of whom was identified as Oscar Rice, were found, bringing a sudden and violent end to their lives. Both Mr. Rice and the other victim, Ernest 'Chick' Bolden, had suffered obvious physical trauma inflicted by a blunt object.
Investigators at the scene found no signs of forced entry into the home, and the residence itself was
not in disarray, suggesting the victims may have known their attacker or attackers. Despite the violent nature of the crime, neighbors in the vicinity reported hearing nothing unusual, leaving law enforcement with very few initial leads. The case grew cold over the years, with no publicly identified suspects or arrests made in connection with the double homicide. The investigation into the deaths of Oscar Rice and Ernest Bolden remains an open and unsolved case with the Greenville Police Department.
