Theodore Watson Jr., 46, was last seen by his girlfriend in the early morning hours of August 29, 2007, while living in Hollywood, South Carolina. He had been estranged from his wife, lived with the girlfriend, and was a father and active church member who worked in construction before going on disability for a heart condition. He also DJed for private events.

On August 30, 2007, a Charleston County deputy found Watson’s white 1988 Honda Prelude abandoned near the Russell Creek Bridge on S.C. Highway 174. The parking lights were on, windows partly down, the trunk open and the keys in the ignition. The unlocked car contained his wallet, two cell phones and other personal items, and there was a small spot of fresh blood on the driver’s seat. A deputy reported seeing what he believed was Watson’s car driving toward Edisto Island about thirteen minutes before the vehicle was found near the McKinley Jr. Washington Bridge.

Searches including divers in the marshes and repeated K-9 searches produced no sign of Watson. Investigators say they believe foul play is involved and that people with possible information have not cooperated. The disappearance remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Theodore or was in the Edisto Island area that night have information to share?
