GAFFNEY, South Carolina (CNN) -- In this rural South Carolina town, a few summer schools began Monday, businesses opened following the July Fourth weekend, and the 13,000 residents sought to go about their business as usual.

Police say the murder scenes are linked and they are searching for a man in this sketch.

But the town -- and the rest of Cherokee County, total population about 50,000 -- is gripped with fear. Over the past nine days, a serial killer has left five people dead, police say.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Oh, I wouldn't worry. If he sees you out in the streets wearing those spectacles, he will go hauling ass in the opposite direction.

Did you just second-post troll someone on their avatar, JasoninWyoming? You're capable of being a good Viner. Post like it. You're suspended for a day for violating #1 and #5 of the Code of Honor.

In a town with such a small population and the fact that they have so much information out there already, it's only a matter of time before they catch this slime-bag.
