Alexis Ware, 29, was last seen January 30, 2022, in Anderson, South Carolina, after spending the weekend with her mother. Family members say she appeared nervous and told her mother she was being followed and getting unwanted calls from someone she called the devil; she also said she feared she wouldn’t make it to her 30th birthday. On the day she disappeared she met the father of her children at a 7-Eleven on Highway 29 to drop the children off. He reports that after the exchange Alexis drove around his vehicle at a red light and sped away.

Investigators say Alexis’s cell phone last pinged at 8:15 p.m. that evening in the Anderson area. Highway cameras recorded her red 2019 Honda Accord traveling to Augusta, Georgia, and back to South Carolina the same night, though it was not established who was driving. On February 2 her car was found abandoned and muddy in a wooded area of McCormick County, about 50 miles from where she was last seen; her phone, purse and ID were inside, a bag of clothes was in the trunk, and her hair bonnet was on the ground outside. Multiple agencies and K9 teams have searched the area; no sign of Alexis has been located.

Are there readers who saw Alexis that night or who have information about the Accord’s movements between Anderson and McCormick County?
