Zachary Malinowski was 19 and living in Conway, South Carolina, when he disappeared in late August 2013. He had been staying with his grandparents in Aynor and was last seen after visiting a woman’s house on 7th Avenue; his final known contact was a phone call shortly after midnight. He was wearing a long red t-shirt, black basketball shorts and either black and white Nike Air Jordans or flip-flops.

A week after he vanished, Zachary’s dark purple 1996 Chevrolet Beretta was found burned beyond recognition in a wooded area off Valley Forge Road near Aynor. Search dogs were on scene briefly and community searches took place, but Zachary was not located. Two men, Christopher Anfony Brown and Javon Dion Gibbs, were later arrested and charged with his kidnapping and murder; authorities said they believed Zachary had been abducted from his residence and killed in western Horry County. Zachary’s body has never been recovered and the charges were later dismissed after a court ruled certain cellular phone data inadmissible.

Anyone with information about Zachary, his movements in late August 2013, or the area around Valley Forge Road is asked to come forward.
