Authorities said a mother and daughter were found dead in a Gaffney home Wednesday.

The bodies were found at 114 Buck Shoals Road, FOX Carolina News reported.

Police identified the victims as Hazel KeatonLinder, 83, and her daughter, Gena Linder Parker, 50. They were both fatally shot.

Cherokee County Sheriff Bill Blanton said the last time the two victims were seen alive was at about 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Blanton would not say if the deaths were linked to that of 63-year-old Kline Cash, a peach farmer found shot to death at his home June 27.

State Law Enforcement Division agents and Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies helping investigate Cash's death responded to Wednesday's shooting.

During a news conference Wednesday evening, Blanton said a dark blue van was seen at the home between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Blanton said at this time, investigators don’t know if the van belongs to a friend of the victims or if it is the killer's car.

Investigators are asking anyone who might have information about the vehicle to call the sheriff’s office.

Another news conference has been scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m. at the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
