On the evening of April 3, 1987, 31-year-old Linda McCord, her friend Sarah Boyd, and Sarah’s young daughter Kimberly attended a gospel concert in Walterboro, South Carolina and were last seen together in Dorchester County leaving in a blue 1977 Lincoln that belonged to Linda’s husband. A witness later reported seeing the Lincoln on Route 15 with another vehicle following, but offered no description of the second car or its occupants.

Two days later the Lincoln was found abandoned and disabled near the intersection of Highway 15 and 176; Linda’s husband, John McCord, discovered the vehicle. Investigators found a blown freeze plug and an overheated engine but no obvious signs of foul play and no trace of the three women. Over the years investigators pursued leads, including a 1990 use of Sarah’s credit card with an illegible signature and family disclosures about prior domestic violence and alleged tampering with Linda’s car. A 2020 tip prompted a search of a Santee property where John had poured concrete; the house was demolished and nothing was found.

The disappearances remain unresolved. If anyone knew Linda, Sarah, Kimberly, their movements that night, or saw the blue 1977 Lincoln on April 3–5, please share what you remember.
