Hundreds at Funerals for 2 Victims of SC Killings

Funerals held for SC mother and daughter who were victims of suspected serial killer

Blanton said all the victims were shot, but he would not say how the deaths were linked. The shootings all occurred within about 10 miles of each other in Cherokee County, a community of 54,000 people set amid peach orchards and farms some 50 miles west of Charlotte, N.C.

"We're knee-deep in the investigation," Blanton had said.

Investigators have released a sketch of the suspect, saying he is in his 40s, with salt and pepper hair, about 6-foot-2, and roughly 200 pounds. They think he is driving a silver 1991-1994 Ford Explorer.
