TRAVELERS REST, S.C. (AP) - Investigators shut down an entire state park in South Carolina on Saturday as they search for a man wanted for murder, but didn’t find the suspect.
Greenville County deputies found a SUV they think was driven by Ryan Kedar just outside Paris Mountain State Park and decided to close the park, sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Ryan Flood said.
About 100 officers searched all day Saturday at the park north of Greenville but did not find Kedar or anything else except for the SUV tying him to the park, Flood said in a statement.
Kedar allegedly shot and killed 58-year-old Mark Jermon at a park in Taylors on Wednesday, authorities said.
The men knew each other, but deputies aren’t sure what led to the shooting, Flood said.
Kedar, 49, is an avid camper and hiker at state and national parks, Flood said.
