Circumstances of Disappearance

Sarah Boyd was last seen with her daughter, Kimberly Boyd and friend Linda McCord on April 3, 1987, at a gospel concert in Walterboro, South Carolina.

Two days later, Linda's 1977 blue Lincoln was found abandoned on the side of the road at Wells Crossroad, the intersection of Highway 15 and US 176 in Orangeburg County, by a friend of Linda's husband. By the time investigators arrived, the car had been taken to a car shop.

A preacher and his wife, who had also attended the gospel concert, told investigators they passed the Linda's car on Highway 15, headed toward St. George. The couple couldn't make out who was behind the wheel of the car but they also noticed another car traveling slowly behind them.
