Confession in South Carolina Slay Case Emerges
A man confessed to the killing of a boy in South Carolina as investigators urged leads. The body lay in a grave like mound near a vacant house after the attack. Sheriff Heise cited revenge against the boy’s father as a possible motive as authorities hunted a bespectacled man seen with the boy. The missing child, Young Harris, last spoke with a bespectacled man in a light car before being lured away to seek a job. Coroner Sargeant said the time and place of death point to a Saturday murder. Mrs Harris, distraught, and Mr Harris, Home Stores Inc. vice president, offered rewards for the boy’s return.
