Take Me To The River

"GILBERT, SC - The Lexington County Sheriff's Department and the Columbia Police Department are investigating a murder-suicide in Gilbert.

"Maj. John Allard of the sheriff's department says the murder took place somewhere between 11:18pm Saturday and 12:38am Sunday at a home on Hayride Road.

"Allard says 30-year-old Lisa Marie Bacon was shot in the head with a handgun by her live-in boyfriend, identified as 32-year-old Jason Wayne Strickland.

"Investigators believe Strickland rolled Bacon's body up in a sheet, placed it in the back of his pick-up truck and drove to the parking lot of Riverbanks Zoo.

"Officers from the Lexington County Sheriff's Department, CPD and Richland County Sheriff's Department found Strickland in the parking lot where he abandoned his truck and started walking toward the Saluda River.

"Despite verbal commands that he return to officers, authorities say Strickland then killed himself in the river.

"After executing a search warrant, deputies say they found evidence that Bacon was killed by Strickland in the kitchen of the home on Hayride Road."
