Sarah W. Boyd was 32 and an administrative assistant when she vanished on April 3, 1987, after attending a gospel concert in Walterboro, South Carolina, with her two-year-old daughter Kimberly and a friend, Linda McCord. The three were driving toward Orangeburg County through Dorchester County in a blue Lincoln; a witness later saw that car on Route 15 with another vehicle close behind. Sarah, Kimberly, and Linda never made it home.

Sarah’s husband, Phillip J. Boyd, reported them missing the morning of April 4 when they did not return. The blue Lincoln was found abandoned on April 5 near Highways 15 and 176 with a blown freeze plug and an overheated engine. Investigators reported no signs of a struggle and no trace of the three at the scene. Authorities suspected foul play early on. In 1990 Sarah’s credit card was used at a mall but the signature did not match and the user was never identified. A 2020 tip led to an excavation at a Santee property; no evidence was found.

What new information might finally break this case open for Sarah, Kimberly, and Linda?
