Breakthrough in Decades-Old Cold Case in Greenville, South Carolina

Greenville, South Carolina – In a surprising turn of events, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office announced a significant breakthrough in a cold case investigation that has remained unsolved for decades.

Discovery of Mr. X’s Body

During a press conference held on Monday, Sheriff Hobart Lewis revealed that deputies had made a shocking discovery. They found an unmarked body in a potter’s grave, with a sign identifying the deceased as “Mr. X.”

The body had been buried in this clandestine manner since 1975, and the identity of Mr. X had remained a mystery until now.

Identification of Mr. X

After an extensive investigation, authorities were finally able to identify Mr. X as Oscar James Nedd, a resident of White Plains, New York.

According to Sheriff Lewis, Nedd’s body was discovered by a hunter on a property along Highway 20 near Blakely Road. His death was ruled a homicide, with the cause being blunt force trauma to the head and strangulation.

Previous Suspect Cleared

In a surprising development, Sheriff Lewis stated that a previous suspect, Jackie Anderson, who had been arrested and charged with murder in 1976, was not believed to be involved in Nedd’s murder.

The case against Anderson was ultimately dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

Origin of the Crime

Investigators now believe that Nedd was killed in New York and his body was transported to South Carolina, where it was ultimately discovered.

Ongoing Investigation

Sheriff Lewis emphasized that the homicide investigation is still ongoing, as authorities work tirelessly to bring justice to Nedd and his family.

Anyone with information related to this case is urged to contact the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers of Greenville at 23-CRIME.

This breakthrough in the cold case has brought renewed hope to the community and serves as a reminder that justice can prevail even after many years have passed.
