In the spring of 1987, two-year-old Kimberly Boyd disappeared along with her mother, Sarah Boyd, and a family friend, Linda McCord, after attending a gospel concert in Walterboro. The trio was last seen driving through Dorchester County on April 3, riding in a blue Lincoln that a witness later described moving slowly with another vehicle following. Phillip Boyd reported them missing the next morning when Sarah and Kimberly did not return home.

Two days later the Lincoln was found abandoned and disabled near the intersection of Highway 15 and 176 in Dorchester County; investigators noted the engine had overheated from a blown freeze plug, but the three women were not at the scene. Subsequent leads included an unidentified signature on Sarah Boyd’s credit card used at a local mall and inquiries into domestic problems in Linda McCord’s marriage. A 2020 excavation at a Santee residence produced no evidence. Kimberly’s disappearance is classified as a non-family abduction and remains an active investigation.

If anyone has memories of that road or the blue Lincoln from April 3, 1987, or any information about Kimberly, please come forward.
