Adriana Diana Laster, 27, was last seen in Elgin, South Carolina, on September 3, 2011. She was reportedly on her way to church while staying with a woman who had been sheltering her from an abusive boyfriend, Freddie Grant. Friends and those close to her say Grant had a history of severely beating Adriana, and the woman she was staying with cautioned her against going to church that day for fear Grant might find her there.

Adriana’s family in Florida did not report her missing until March 17, 2012, more than six months after she was last seen. Foul play was suspected from the start because of the history of domestic abuse, and suspicion centered on Grant, though Adriana’s whereabouts remained unknown for years. The case shifted from a missing person investigation to a homicide probe after remains later identified as Adriana’s were recovered; authorities have indicated they intend to pursue charges related to her death.

Did anyone in the Elgin area remember seeing Adriana or her car that week in September 2011?
