Erica Monique Bradley was a 17-year-old from Allendale, South Carolina, last seen the night of November 6, 2006, after her shift at a local Hardee’s. She left in the company of her 18-year-old boyfriend, Derek Maner, the father of her five-month-old son. When Maner failed to pick her up, a cousin gave her a ride; the cousin and Maner encountered each other and Erica got into Maner’s car in front of the county courthouse. That was the last time her family saw her.

Maner later told police Erica jumped out of the car and ran into woods off Highway 125. A search of that area recovered Erica’s shoes, clothing and pieces of her hair extensions, but no body. Forensic testing of Maner’s vehicle found Erica’s blood, hair and tissue on the underside of the car and evidence suggesting an attempt to wash away biological material. Maner waited two days before telling Erica’s parents she was missing and became the focus of the investigation.

In February 2009 a jury convicted Maner of murder and he was sentenced to life without parole. Erica’s body has not been found, and her family has not had a burial.

If anyone knew Erica, her routines, or saw her on November 6, 2006, please share what was seen or heard.
