25-Year-Old Rape Case Finally Solved | Augusta Georgia News

Fifty-five-year-old Edward Palmore was arrested in Aiken, South Carolina, after a 25-year chase for rape and kidnapping charges from April 2001 — when he allegedly drugged, assaulted, and abandoned a high school acquaintance in a brutal home invasion.

Palmore’s arrest on July 8, 2026, marks a chilling reminder that justice, even decades later, can still find you — and the second suspect remains at large.
