This Friday, November 6th, marks the six-year anniversary of one of the darkest days in local (Spartanburg County, SC) history.
It was the day four people were shot to death as they worked at Superbike Motorsports on Parris Bridge Road near Chesnee in Spartanburg County. Who committed the murders? Why did they do it? The chief investigator tells News Channel 7's Tom Crabtree those answers may not come unless people keep talking about the Superbike case and bring out new leads.

Recently Tom got an exclusive look inside the Superbike crime scene and an update on the case.
Superbike is a cluttered storage building now. A few small signs are the only reminders of the thriving motorcycle and dirt bike business. The only reminders that it was where four people were methodically murdered. "It was almost like the people were taken by surprise," says Senior Investigator William Gary of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. "No sign of a struggle."

Mid-afternoon on November 6th, 2003, a customer found Superbike owner Scott Ponder, and his close friend, shop manager Brian Lucas, dead outside the front of the business. Inside were the bodies of the other two employees: Scott's mother, bookkeeper Beverly Guy, and mechanic Chris Sherbert. Gary believes one shooter killed all four victims but may have had other help. "It could be that there was somebody here that was a lookout, or somebody that called to let them know there's nobody but employees here. It could be somebody that helped them to plan it."

What was the motive for the murders?

"I think that was a hit," believes Tom Lucas, father of Superbike victim Brian Lucas. Tom and his wife, Lorraine, say Brian loved motorcycles and had a special talent for fixing them. The Lucases say their son's murder is the first and last thing they talk about everyday. "I believe there was something going on within the business, not saying it was drugs or not saying what it was, but there was something definitely going on in that particular business that went bad," says Tom Lucas. "Something illegal."
