  The FBI is seeking information regarding the unsolved triple murder at a bank in Greer, South Carolina. AMW aired this case one week after the crime occurred and forgot about it. On May 16, 2003, a bank in Greer, South Carolina was robbed by at least one individual. Responding officers found a bank teller and two customers shot to death. The bank was very close to Interstate 85. The sketches above depict a man who was seen inside a bank right before the triple homicide. At the time the white male suspect was 50 to 53 years of age and had slightly grayish-blond hair. A red car was also seen in the area at the time of the crime. In remembrance of the 10-year anniversary, the FBI had a memorial for the three victims. Not even a person of interest has been publicly named in connection with this horrible tragedy. Thoughts? Admin Note #1: According to FBI press release, the public is urged to call the FBI office in Columbia at (803) 551-4200 with any information concerning this case.Admin Note #2: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-formwww.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/greer-south-carolina-murders-bank-robbery/viewwww.fbi.gov/columbia/press-releases/2013/tenth-anniversary-of-blue-ridge-savings-bank-triple-murder-in-greer-south-carolina |

This is a bizarre South Carolina unsolved homicide just like the Chesnee killings (I don't think there's a connection, just pointing out how tragic but mysterious both were).
It is also very rare for a homicide to occur in a bank robbery. Usually the robber sticks a gun or points a note, the teller, deciding to be safe than sorry hands over the money (and/or a dye pack if they think they can get away with it) and the guy leaves.
I just wonder what happened here. Was it a robbery gone awry? Did the teller refuse? Did the robber get too intense and pull the trigger prematurely? Did anything anger him during the robbery? Perhaps he noticed the teller try to slip a dye pack? Sadly, we'll never know until the guy is caught.

I doubt this one will ever be solved, unless he confides in someone about it and they give him up.

Bumping this case up since it was mentioned on the syndicated crime show "Crime Watch Daily" today- although mainly as a brief mention when discussing whether it could be connected to the Chesnee Superbike Quadruple homicide. Apparently a red car was seen shortly after the triple homicide and it was stolen by a man named Emerson Wright. Wright would later commit suicide after being chased by police on other charges in Georgia. Here's some info on wright: www.goupstate.com/article/20070612/NEWS/706120356 |

Crime Watch Daily did a full segment on the Greer Triple Murder case today. In addition to having the stolen car seeing fleeing the scene, Wright also had committed crimes with a Glock 40, the same gun used in the Greer murders. Despite this, he has never been named the killer. I personally feel Wright is the guy, but unfortunately there's not enough evidence to unequivocally name him the killer. Basically if he hadn't killed himself, perhaps he would have confessed, but unfortunately we'll never know. crimewatchdaily.com/2016/03/03/unsolved-bank-robbery-ends-with-towns-first-triple-murder/ |

The fact that Wright was driving a "red car" after the murders and involved in a police chase leads me to believe he is the one that was responsible, but as Scumhunter pointed out, we wont know without any solid evidence. It could have also been a middle aged man who needed a financial way out and was very desperate. I believe the car is most likely an Oldsmobile Alero or a Pontiac Grand Am, not a Chevrolet Impala as the FBI poster states. if the car were to be a 2 door vehicle, it really cant be an Impala as they weren't 2 door. Both the Alero and the Trans Am were also available in 4 door models.  Oldsmobile Alero  Pontiac Trans Am |

People are also wondering about Kohlhepp now that he confessed to the Chesnee Superbike murders, but I feel if he confessed to that and at least three other murders, he would have nothing to lose and would confess to this as well.

I mean yeah if he confessed that he murdered 7 people this case could end the tally. The 4 at the Chesnee Superbike and The 3 in Greer, it wouldn't surprise me if Kohlhepp was responsible for this crime as well.

It wouldn't surprise me but I don't think it's Kohlhepp since he hasn't confessed.

Crime Watch Daily's update on the Superbike arrest says at the time it's not believed Kohlhepp is connected to this case, but of course this is only at the moment.

Well, have ballistics tests been made with a glock 40 which was used in the murders?
Were there any fingerprints and dna recovered in the stolen which belang to Kohlhepp?

Although circumstantial evidence points to Wright, I’m guessing the cops have their doubts he’s their man. I doubt the FBI would be putting emphasis on that sketch if they thought Wright was the killer.
