Crystal Bradshaw was found murdered in her home on June 3, 2007, at 107 Northbrook Street in Boiling Springs. This is located off Highway 9 between Northbrook Baptist Church and Raceway. The Fire Department was called by someone that noticed the fire coming from the home in early morning of June 3rd. We believe the murder took place in the late evening hours on June 2nd. She had only lived in her home for four months with her young son after separating from her husband. He was keeping their child that night at his home since Crystal had to get up early for work. She was 28 years old and working as a waitress at the Peach Blossom Restaurant located at Highway 9 and I-85. She worked the morning shift and also attended Spartanburg Community College.
The night of the homicide, an unknown person was seen in the carport of the home when it was engulfed, and neighbors were gathering trying to help. This person left the scene before the fire trucks and police arrived. We have a composite of this person and believe they may have useful information for our case.
We would like to announce for the fourteen year anniversary, a $25,000 reward has been donated anonymously. We hope this will encourage those that have information to come forward. The reward money is being offered for one year for the person that gives information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of the suspect. We feel confident that others know details that will solve this case. I ask you to please call Investigator Diane Lestage with the Unsolved Homicide Unit at 864-503-4556 to pass on whatever you know that can help.
