Car-jacker identified by authorities

web posted June 14, 2007
AUGUSTA – The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office released information stating they have identified the suspect in the carjacking of an Edgefield woman last Thursday. Lucia Bradham, of Edgefield, was at the Top Notch Car Wash on 2841 Washington Rd, Augusta, when she was approached by a white man that engaged her in a conversation. Shortly afterwards he forced his way into Ms. Bradham’s GMC Yukon and fled the scene. Police say video surveillance tapes later showed 31 year-old Gary Lee Murphy, of Wagner, using Ms. Bradham’s charge card to make purchases at the Dillard’s store on Wrightsboro Road.

Authorities say he then changed clothes and convinced another woman, identified as Dominique Chargois, to give him a ride to the nearby Kroger store where he demanded the car and Ms. Chargois’ personal belongings after arriving at the location. He fled the scene with Ms. Chargois’ black 2004 Ford Mustang with a GA license plate of AVE 7688.

Murphy is a registered sex offender in South Carolina and has a last known address of 2965 Wagener Rd, Aiken. He is described as a white male, 6' 3" tall and weighing 170 -180 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes and may be wearing a mustache and goatee. He was convicted of indecent exposure to a female victim on September 18, 1997. He registered as a sex offender, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), on March 20, 2003.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Division at 706-821-1080 or 706-821-1020 or the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office at 803-637-5337 or 803-278-1625.
