The family and friends of the 15-year-old girl from South Carolina are mourning her loss after the teenager was found dead 3 weeks after being kidnapped. The teen had been missing for close to a month before she was found dead in a wooded area. As per report, information collected by the police indicates that she had gone out with two male acquaintances on the night of her murder.
Three teens have since been arrested in connection with her disappearance. One of them is a juvenile male, arrested for kidnapping, another is 18-year-old Treveon Nelson, reported as detained on May 1, 2021.
The Sheriff’s Department have confirmed that Nelson will face a number of charges, including murder, assault and kidnapping.
