(Greenville-AP) June 6, 2006 - Authorities say they have issued arrest warrants for murder, rape and kidnapping against a Tennessee man in the death of a Clemson University student strangled with her bikini top.
State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart said Tuesday night Jerry "Buck" Inman's DNA matched samples taken from Tiffany Marie Souers' apartment.
Prosecutor Bob Ariail says Inman is considered extremely dangerous and is likely in a green Chevrolet Camaro or an Econoline van. Inman is 5'10", about 160 pounds and has several tattoos. Police are asking you call the tip line at 1-800-442-2746, extension 2, if you have seen him or have any information about the murder.
The 35-year-old construction worker was registered as a sex offender in Florida in September for kidnapping and sexual battery. His last address is listed as Dandridge, Tennessee.
Inman's mother, Vera McArthur, says her son was in Dandridge Tuesday. She says he didn't know South Carolina authorities were looking for him.
Souers' body was discovered hours after authorities think the junior was killed in her off-campus apartment early May 26th.
She was wearing only a bra, and the bikini top was still around her neck.
Photos of the suspect at an ATM machine trying unsuccessfully to use Souers' card were released last week, but the man's face was covered mostly in bandanas.
The surveillance photos also captured a sport utility vehicle, which authorities think may have belonged to the suspect.
Police say they have received more than 200 calls since setting up a tip line last week.
