A South Carolina man, 21-year-old John Lucas Dale Rice, has been charged with murder after he allegedly showed the decomposing, dismembered remains of a man who was last seen in 2021 to a friend.

As reported by Fox Carolina, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) received information regarding Kevin Brookshire, a man who was last seen in Chesnee back in 2021. Missing People in America detailed that Brookshire had traveled to Sevier County on December 15, 2021, but never came back.

Brookshire had been driving a Red Chevrolet S-10 with expired Tennessee tags at the time. The vehicle was then involved in a crash in April 2022. However, the driver at the time was not Brookshire, who was not heard from for almost four years. It all changed, however, on August 22, 2025.
