Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office investigators will once again try to solve a mystery that’s now a decade old.

As part of plans announced last year to highlight one unsolved case per quarter, Sheriff Steve Mueller, Capt. of Detectives Mark Vanderburg and fellow deputies will be canvassing the areas of South Green River and Cannons Campground roads on Monday to shine a spotlight on the unsolved murder of Rev. Perry Wayne Posey.

Posey, 41, was shot to death Feb. 6, 2002, while sitting in his car at the parking lot of a grocery store located just off Exit 87 of Interstate 85.

Monday marks the 10th anniversary of his death.

“We’ll go back to the original area of the crime scene and we’ll deploy our folks around 1 p.m. and go until 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. that night,” the sheriff said.

“The bottom line is we’re not going to give up,” he added. “If we get a tip, that’s great. But at the end of the day, if nothing comes through, we’re not giving up.”

Mueller believes that all of the unsolved cases his office is tackling are solvable.

“There’s someone that knows something about every one of these cold cases,” he said. “It’s just a matter of reaching the right person.”

Posey served as pastor at Shady Grove Baptist Church. In his memory, a candlelight vigil will be held Saturday at 6 p.m. at the church led by Shady Grove Pastor Rev. Lee Byers Jr., Rev. Caroline Jones and others.

Vergie Posey said she and her family are still holding out hope that answers will come in the investigation of her husband’s death.

“We just really want to know who did it and what happened,” she said.

She said the renewed look at the case raised the family’s hopes once again.

“He was a great man, a really good husband, a good father, and got along well with people,” she said of her husband.

Last quarter, on Nov. 8, 2011, investigators canvassed the area of 4th Street in Gaffney, distributing flyers and trying to drum up information on another decade-old cold case — the Nov. 8, 2001, murder of William “Buck” Spencer, who was found shot to death in his home.

The schedule laid out by investigators, when the renewed look at cold cases was announced, will take them through the third quarter of 2013.

While the cases are being spotlighted on a quarterly basis, any tips or information that come in on any of the cases is handled immediately.
