The tragic deaths of a married couple, discovered in their South Carolina home, are now being treated as a homicide. Investigators are appealing to the public for assistance in unraveling the circumstances surrounding this unsettling case.

The victims have been identified by the Oconee County Coroner’s Office as Larry Moore, aged 76, and his wife, Sandra Moore, aged 75.

The couple came to the attention of authorities after a concerned family member, unable to contact them, dialed 911 on Thursday evening, as reported by WYFF.

While the coroner’s office has confirmed that the couple succumbed to traumatic injuries, specific details are being kept confidential at the request of the sheriff’s office to preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation.

A photo from Calvary Church shows Larry and Sandra Moore at a church gathering, a poignant reminder of the couple who were fondly remembered by their congregation in the wake of their deaths.

Authorities have not said when the couple was killed or how long they may have been inside the home before they were discovered. Deputies say the last known contact with the couple was earlier in the week.

Sheriff’s officials say investigators believe the incident is isolated and that there is no danger to the public, but confirm a homicide investigation remains ongoing.

In a message to congregants, Calvary Church said it was sharing the news “with heavy hearts,” describing Larry and Sandra Moore as “longtime and most faithful members,” and asking the community to lift their family and loved ones in prayer.

Those who knew the couple described them as gentle, faithful and deeply rooted in their community. 

Church members called them the “backbones” of the congregation, while a family member wrote that they were “two of the most godly people” devoted to a life of service.

Many people in the community also confirmed to WYFF that the couple owned the Moore & Moore Fish Camp for decades and retired in 2016.

Investigators are urging anyone with information related to the case, including home security video from the days leading up to the discovery, to contact authorities.
