OKALOOSA COUNTY:43 years ago someone gunned down a popular convenience store clerk working on Okaloosa Island, but Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office investigators are still hoping for a break in the cold case.
George Myers was working at a store at the corner of Highway 98 and Santa Rosa Boulevard the morning of February 9, 1979.
A customer who went in around 3 a.m. initially couldn’t find the clerk, but went into a storage room and discovered the 56-year old Myers on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds.
The store safe, cash register, and his wallet were left untouched, so the motive remains very much a mystery four decades later.
Anyone who has any information on this cold case is asked to please contact the OCSO at 850.651.7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850.863.TIPS,
