A tragic incident has unfolded in South Carolina, where the deaths of a long-married couple are now being treated as homicides. Officials are reaching out to the public for assistance in unraveling the circumstances surrounding this 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 situation came to light when a family member, unable to contact the couple, dialed 911 on Thursday evening, according to reports from WYFF.

The coroner’s office has confirmed that the Moores died due to traumatic injuries. However, specific details regarding these injuries are being kept confidential at the request of the sheriff’s office to ensure the investigation’s integrity remains intact.

At this time, authorities have not disclosed the exact timing of the couple’s deaths or how long their bodies had been in the home before being 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.
