The Cold Case of Pete Wells

On October 13, 2005, Pete Wells was found deceased after a purchase at Bamboo Garden restaurant on Highway 28 Bypass in Anderson, South Carolina. It appears that the homicide happened during a robbery attempt as he entered his vehicle.

An arrest was made in the case in 2010, but the charges against the suspect were later dropped. The case remains cold, twenty years later.

Someone out there knows something. If you have information about the Pete Wells case, please call the Anderson Police Department or Anderson County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372).

Pete and his family deserve justice.
