Kelly Sisk was a member of the National Guard and a regular customer at Superbike Motorsports. On the day of the shootings, he decided to stop in at the store to make a payment on a go-kart he was buying for his four-year-old son. Kelly took his son with him and the pair arrived at the store around 2pm. They spent between 30 and 45 minutes wandering around at the dealership floor admiring the latest bikes and ATVs. It was quiet, with only one other customer in the store. The other customer was a white male who looked to be between 25 and 40 years old. He was about 6 feet tall and 170 to 200 pounds, with dark feathered hair, thin lips, small eyes and a narrow jaw. The men was wearing jeans and a leather jacket, which struck Kelly as odd because it was a warm day. The customer was admiring a black Suzuki motorcycle when Kelly saw Scott ponder approach him. Hey, this is a good beginner's bike, Scott said. Kelly was confused. The bike was big and didn't look suitable for a beginner in his opinion, but he figured Scott would know better than he did. When Kelly and his son left a few minutes later, the customer was still chatting with Scott. By the time Kelly arrived at home, reports about the quadruple homicide at Superbike Motorsports were all over the news. Kelly was shocked. He couldn't believe that he'd just been there with his young child right before the attack unfolded. Kelly reported what he had seen to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department, but it would take more than a month for investigators to track him down. They eventually came to realise that Kelly Sisk was their most crucial witness. The man that he'd seen in the dealership that day was most likely the killer. Kelly helped them create a composite sketch of the suspect and the image was widely distributed, but Kelly wasn't happy with the picture. He didn't think it was a good likeness of the man at all. No solid leads resulted from the suspect's sketch. It was featured on popular television programs such as America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries. Tips would trickle in after each screening, but nothing that led to a break in the case. Former FBI agent and renowned serial killer profiler John Douglas was brought in to create a profile of the unknown suspect. In his opinion, the killer was mission-oriented. The entire attack was probably over within 45 seconds, and the motive was very different to other crimes Douglas had investigated. Quote, It's not a type of case like other serial killers who I've interviewed where it's a fantasy. This is revenge. This is retaliation. In 2012, an updated sketch of the suspect was released, which eyewitness Kelly Sisk said was a much better likeness of the mystery customer. It depicted a man with dark hair parted down the middle and a face that was wider at the top and narrowed towards his chin. His eyes were somewhat narrowed and his mouth turned downwards at the corners. In November 2013, the sheriff's office sent out a letter to their database of Superbike motorsports customers in the hopes it might jog someone's memory. No one responded to them. More than a decade after the shootings, there had been over 750 leads that all fizzled out. But Sheriff Chuck Wright refused to admit defeat, telling the Spartanburg Herald Journal in 2015. I don't call it a cold case, I call it an old case, because we're still working on it. Case file will be back shortly. Thank you for supporting us by listening to
