Shanta Marie Johnson

Age Progressed

Circumstances of Disappearance
Shanta and her adoptive mother visited Briarcliffe Mall in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on July 19, 1992. The mother told authorities that Shanta disappeared near the toy department of the K-Mart store inside the shopping center during the afternoon hours. They were visiting from Cumberland County, N.C.

The couple had begun adoption proceedings for the child and her younger brother three months earlier. Shanta, formerly Shante Reid was born in Wilmington to a mother addicted to drugs. The baby tested positive for cocaine at birth.

A review of store surveillance tapes showed that the adoptive mother entered the store alone.
On May 5, 1992, a doctor examined Shanta and pronounced her in excellent health. A month later, Shanta was seen by doctors at Duke University Medical Center for health problems associated with her birth.

According to the records the doctors at Duke noticed physical and mental problems, including bruises, scratches and extreme fear in a child who previously had appeared to be extroverted. She had bitten her fingernails so severely that her fingertips bled.

No charges has been filed in Shanta's disappearance. FBI and Horry County investigators suspect that Shanta never entered South Carolina.

Shane Govan

On Nov. 10, 2008, witnesses said they observed Shane Govan at a Citron Road address in Cordova, SC when they heard individuals arguing and gunshots.

“We have conducted an exhaustive investigation into the disappearance of Shane Govan. We have chased down all leads, interviewed a host of witnesses and yet we have not been able to locate this individual,” Sheriff Larry Williams said.

The person reported hearing someone call out, "I should kill you." Several more shots were fired. A small, gray Toyota truck was seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed.

Shane Govan's cell phone and cigarette lighter were found at the scene, along with several shell casings.

Shanik Govan says her mother died several months later, still worrying about her son.


Area last seen: Citron Rd. near Cannon Bridge Rd. in Orangeburg

Anyone with information about Shane Govan's whereabouts is asked to call the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office at 1-803-534-3550.

Susan Kay DeLuca

Susan Kay DeLuca was last seen on April 15 as she was possibly traveling to the state of Maryland to visit her family. She was reported missing on April 29. She was last seen in the area of Sparky's Fireworks store on Hwy. 501 in Marion County. Detectives initiated an investigation once law enforcement learned that DeLuca never made it to Maryland. DeLuca's car was found at the bottom of the Little Pee Dee River in June 2010 but she has yet to be found.

Ted Godbolt, DeLuca’s landlord whom she rented a mobile home from on William Nobles Road said she lived with a man and both kept quiet to themselves.

Through police reports, WMBF News learned that Ms. DeLuca quit her job at the Waffle House in Aynor just before she disappeared.

DeLuca's father told NewsChannel 15 his daughter moved to Horry County about five years ago and described her as somewhat transient. He said, though, that she's never gone this long without checking in.
A woman who lives at the house where DeLuca was living before she vanished said she knew DeLuca casually and that it wasn't like her to just leave.

"She left her stuff like she was coming back. She didn't leave like a person moving with no intention of coming back or disappearing," said Jean King.

If anyone has any information on the location of Susan DeLuca, they are asked to contact the Horry County Police Department directly at 915-5350, or call 915-TIPS (8477).

Tierra Symone Inman

With a history of running away, authorities first listed Tierra Inman, 15, under that category, a runaway.  It's been my experience that a person who is categorized as "just a runaway" is not too high on the priority list, especially teens with a history.

As most experts will tell you, teens are either running away from something, or running to something, but either way, they are usually in an endangered situation and, as teens, do not have the ability to make good conscious decisions for themselves.

Tierra was last seen on October 16, 2011 along Stewart St. in Marion, SC and her last contact with a friend was on October 20.  Her family says although she has run away from home before, she usually returns within a few days.  There has been no contact from her since October 20.  They believe she could be in the Florence, Columbia or Myrtle Beach areas.

Authorities are now asking for the public's assistance, and Tierra is now categorized as missing.

Inman has been described as standing 5’5″ and weighing about 175 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing light blue shorts and a white t-shirt.

Anyone with information as to her whereabouts should contact the Marion Police Department at 843-423-8616.

ImaginePublicity Sponsors Tour Stop to Remember the Missing Persons of South Carolina

On Saturday, October 29 at 10am family members of the missing, along with members of the community, law enforcement, media and speakers will gather at Chapin Park at 1400 North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach.  South Carolina has approximately 125 known open missing persons cases, some recent and many that have gone cold.  ImaginePublicity hopes to add to the awareness of each of them by hosting a stop along the CUE Center for Missing Persons’ Road to Remember Tour in Myrtle Beach.

Each year CUE Center for Missing Persons hits the road across several states in order to bring awareness to communities of the magnitude of a silent epidemic, missing persons.  This year’s tour will cover the following states: NC, TN, SC, TX, MS, AL, FL, LA .  Every year, Monica Caison and representatives from CUE travel a different route in order to bring needed attention in the media and each community.

The annual tour was created to generate new interest in cold cases of missing people across our nation. The inspiration came in 2004 from the case of North Carolina college student Leah Roberts, who had gone on a cross-country trip of self-exploration. Her wrecked and abandoned vehicle was found, but Leah is still missing. Leah’s case went cold and interest faded until CUE Center volunteers set out on a grueling 14-day trip to retrace her route and inform the media of all those who were missing in the path of the tour. In the years to follow, it only seemed right to keep hope alive after families across the country voiced the need for more help and supported the tour idea.

All families with missing loved ones in South Carolina are invited to participate.  Please bring pictures, signs, banners, or whatever you like, to honor your missing loved one and bring more attention to your loved one’s case.

If you are planning to attend, please email contact@imaginepublicity to give us an idea of who will be in attendance.   Your missing loved one will be honored regardless of attendance.
