  • 128: MURDER: The Blue Ridge Savings Bank
    Mar 16 2026

    On May 16, 2003, a silent alarm was triggered inside Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Greer, South Carolina. When officers arrived just minutes later, they found the bank empty and the cash drawer cleared out.

    In a small utility room at the back of the building, they made a devastating discovery. Head teller Sylvia Holtzclaw, along with customers Dr. Eb Barnes and his wife Maggie Barnes, had all been shot and killed.

    Surveillance footage from inside the bank was missing. Grainy video from nearby gas stations showed a red car speeding away from the area, but investigators were never able to identify the driver.

    More than 20 years later, the triple homicide at Blue Ridge Savings Bank remains unsolved, and detectives are still searching for the person or people responsible.

    If you have any information, please contact the FBI Office in Greenville, South Carolina at (803) 551-4200 or the Greer Police Department at (864) 848-2151.

  • 127: POSSIBLE MURDER: Erica Alonso
    Mar 9 2026

    On Valentine’s Day 2015, 27-year-old Erica Alonso went out with her ex-boyfriend in Orange County, California. She told her sister she would be home later that night.

    But Erica never came home.

    Weeks later, she was found deceased in a remote area of Orange County. Her body had been wrapped in plastic bags and secured with duct tape. Despite those circumstances, detectives said they did not believe Erica had been murdered.

    That statement has been questioned by many. And more than 10 years later, Erica’s family and community are still trying to figure out what happened that night.

    Anyone with information in Erica’s case is asked to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227 or visit occrimestoppers.org.

  • 126: MISSING: Deanna Merryfield
    Mar 2 2026

    On July 22, 1990, 13-year-old Deanna Merryfield was last seen in Killeen, Texas. In the early morning hours, she left her grandmother’s house to visit her twin sister and was later seen getting into a dark sedan with two older teenage boys.

    She was never seen or heard from again.

    More than three decades later, Deanna’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching for answers and working to bring her home.

    Anyone who knew Deanna in 1990 or earlier is asked to come forward, even if they believe the information is minor. Because there was so little investigation in the beginning, even basic details could matter.

    You can also reach the family at FindingDeanna.com.
    If you have any information about Deanna or her disappearance, please contact the Killeen Police Department at 254-501-8891.
