The Coble Family: A Tragedy That Shocked a Nation

The Murders of Four Innocent Children

On the evening of March 3, 2017, the Coble family was brutally attacked in their own home. Four innocent children—James, Sarah, Emma, and Matthew—were killed in the senseless tragedy.

The children's father, Larry Coble, was arrested and charged with their murders. He went on trial in 2019 and was convicted of all four murders. He was sentenced to death.

The Aftermath of the Tragedy

The Coble family murders shocked the nation and sparked a national conversation about domestic violence. The children's mother, Tara Coble, became an advocate for victims of domestic violence and spoke out against her husband.

The murders also led to changes in the law in South Carolina. In 2019, the state passed a law that increased the penalties for domestic violence and made it easier for victims to obtain protective orders.

The Coble Family Legacy

The Coble family murders were a tragedy that touched the lives of countless people. The children's lives were cut short too soon, but their memory lives on through the work of their mother and the changes in the law that were made in their name.
