At about 1:30 p.m. May 16, 2003, authorities believe that two suspects went into Blue Ridge Savings Bank, 330 E. Frontage Road near Interstate 85.
The Greer Police Department arrived on the scene about 15 minutes later and found the bodies of Sylvia Holtzclaw, the only bank employee on duty, and married customers James Eb Barnes, 61, and Margaret Barnes, 58, in a utility room in the back of the bank. All three died of gunshot wounds.
Authorities believe James Barnes, a professor at the University of South Carolina Upstate; Margaret Barnes, an employee of the National Beta Club headquarters in Spartanburg; and Holtzclaw were left in the bank by two suspects who took very little cash and hurriedly left the area in a bright red two-door car, according to the FBI.
