Unsolved Case of James “Bunk” Carver

The latest unsolved case to be profiled by the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is that of James J. “Bunk” Carver, whose homicide continues to be one of the most brutal cases the Sheriff’s Office has investigated.  James Carver was 82-years-old when sometime between the dates of May 11^th and May 13^th of 2010 he was brutally beaten to death inside his residence, which was located at 655 James Carver Road in Seneca, which is just off Highway 59. Investigators believe that the beating was personal considering its severity and the feeling among investigators is that Mr. Carver knew his assailant because there was no forced entry into the home.  Investigators believe robbery could be a possible motive in the crime as something appeared to have been taken from under one of the beds.  There have been persons of interest in the case, but not enough probable cause to make an arrest.  That is why the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to help solve the case.
