Do you know who murdered 60 year old Chester Miller in 1978? In the early morning hours of Sunday, August 19, 1978, a sense of unease settled over the Caper House Convenience Store on East Faris Road in Greenville, South Carolina. Inside, 60-year-old Chester Miller was working his shift, unaware of the violence that was about to befall him. At approximately 12:56 a.m., he was discovered murdered, the victim of a single gunshot wound to his chest.
Investigators arriving at the scene found the cash register open and an undetermined amount of money
missing, pointing to a robbery that had taken a fatal turn. The quiet convenience store had become a crime scene, and the search for the person or persons responsible for Mr. Miller's death began. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case grew cold over the years, leaving a lingering question of who committed this senseless act of violence.
Decades have passed since Chester Miller's life was cut short, yet the case remains officially unsolved. No arrests have ever been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the homicide. The Greenville Police Department continues to classify the death of Chester Miller as an unsolved murder, a cold case file holding the story of a man who went to work one summer night and never returned home. A reward of $2,000 is being offered for any information that leads to the apprehension of those responsible.
