Andrea Hayslette


On April 24, 1993, Andrea was last seen by a neighbor at the Deer Track Villas in Surfside Beach where the family of 4 lived. By April 28, 4 days later, she was reported missing by her parents because it was not in her character to be out of communication with them for that length of time, and to be away from her two small children. Her truck and her van, along with all of her clothing and jewelry, were still at the home, but missing was her suitcase, toothbrush, her purse and other personal identifying items.

When her parents returned from a trip to Disney World with grandson, Ryan, his younger sister, Katie, only 2 years old at the time, stated that "Daddy put Mommy in those bushes." Because of her young age, this statement was not allowed to be presented in court, but led investigators to believe that foul play existed and Larry Hayslette became the number one suspect.

By May 24, 1993, a mere four weeks after Andrea disappeared, Larry Hayslette returned to his father's in West Virginia, returning to Surfside Beach one time after that to gather his belongings and move back there. Family court judge awarded Andrea's parents permanent custody of her two small children, a move that was definitely in their best interest considering some of the headlines we read today. 

Eventually, in 1995, Larry Hayslette was convicted of forging Andrea's signature on the title of her vehicle for the purpose of selling it, and in 1996 he was charged with Andrea's murder, however, the charges were dropped in 1997 for lack of evidence and this case has grown cold over the years.

Kareem Jamal Ward




(The State)  It was Sunday morning, Father’s Day on June 17, 2007, and the family of Kareem Jamaal Ward were at home planning a dinner for later that day at his sister’s house.
Ward’s mother, Ann Warren, said she remembers that morning he was outside playing with his pitbull puppy and talking to his cousin in the yard.
About 10 a.m. that day, the 23-year-old got a phone call and left his mom’s house.
Ward didn’t say where he was going, but said he would return in time for dinner.
Hours ticked off the clock, daylight turned to darkness and calls to Ward’s cellphone went to voicemail.
The family assumed Ward went to visit his girlfriend, where he had recently spent a lot of time, and lost track of time.
But Ward never came back.
It wasn’t until the following day when Horry County police came to their home that Warren knew her only son hadn’t lost track of time with his girlfriend.
The officer told Ann Warren and her daughter, Sharhonda Warren, that Ward’s car had been pulled from the Pee Dee River after it was found submerged at a boat landing off Gunters Lake Road in the Galivants Ferry area.
Police told the family that some recently installed audio sound equipment had been stripped from the car before it was submerged, Sharhonda Warren said. Her brother’s cellphone was in the car, but the SIM card was missing and there was no trace of Ward.
“The area was searched for days and nothing turned up. The police had claimed to have gotten leads to his possible whereabouts but nothing turned up,” Sharhonda Warren said. “The disappearance of my brother was extremely hard on my entire family.”
Like a few other families in Horry County, the Warrens continue to wait for answers about what happened to him.

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.

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).

Mae Cynthia Bullock


There is no other information or pictures available at this time.


On May 15, 2009 Mae Bullock, a homeless woman in Myrtle Beach, contacted her son in Hickory, N.C. telling her son that she was coming to visit him. She was never heard from again. According to reports, her son grew concerned that he had not heard from his mother in four months. The cellular phone that she had was also not reachable. Bullock’s son did not know where to find her but he did know that she frequented the community kitchen for meals and the First Baptist Church in Myrtle Beach. On the same day she last contacted her son, May 15, 2009, Bullock filed a police report in regards to being a victim of credit card fraud but she did not leave any contact information to follow up on. None of the people that knew her in the area had seen her or knew her whereabouts. The case remains open and unsolved.

Rebecca Slavinsky

There is no picture or other articles to be found on the internet.  If and when there are updates, they will be reported here.

The coldest case of all is that of Rebecca Slavinsky. She was last seen on July 28, 1979 in the area of 64th Avenue N. In Myrtle Beach. According to reports, Slavinsky met up with a friend at the Driftwood Motel. She wanted the friend to take her swimming so they proceeded from there to 64th Avenue N. Slavinsky took her friend’s surfboard and went to the water. She did not know how to swim but it was a calm day and she used the surfboard to float herself in shallow water. Her friend told police that he went to his sister’s house on 65th Avenue N. but he was tired and he fell asleep. That was the last time anyone heard from Slavinsky. Her friend awoke the next morning and was unable to find her. All of her clothes, her beach towel, and the surfboard were found but she was not. Witnesses reported seeing Slavinsky in the area but no foul play was reported. No further leads were ever found and the case remains open.

Glenn Howlett


There is no picture available for Glenn Howlett, if one becomes available, it will be placed here.  There is only one paragraph found on the internet about Mr. Howlett's disappearance.  There is no information in NamUs.  I wish to get his case on this list and will follow up with any further information if it's found.

On June 23, 2009 Glenn Howlett, from Greensboro, N.C., made his last phone call to his family and he was never heard from again. According to reports, his last phone call was made from a McDonald’s in Myrtle Beach. They became worried because Howlett phoned home on a consistent basis and they had not heard from him in five weeks. Howlett reportedly had trouble with alcohol and the law. And according to reports, he was also in a troubled marriage and his wife had made threats against him in the past. Searches for Howlett revealed nothing and his body was never found and he was never heard from again. The case remains open and unsolved.


Lisa Ann Meyers Neugent





DATE DISAPPEARED 08-SEP-1999 LOCATION Conway, SC 


CIRCUMSTANCES

On Sept. 8, 1999 Lisa Neugent, from Rockingham County, N.C., called her parents on the way to Cherry Grove Beach to help her boyfriend with a construction project he was working on. She was never heard from again. According to reports, Neugent was looking to escape an abusive marriage she was in with another man. She married her first husband in 1997. Two years later she met a new boyfriend and moved with him almost immediately to his home in Conway. She found work as a courier in her new town. 

According to her friends, her new boyfriend was very possessive of her, but in spite of this they were very happy together for the next two years. In September of 1999 Neugent’s parents came to visit. On the last night of her parents’ visit Neugent’s boyfriend did not return home. Neugent confided in her parents that he was using drugs and they persuaded her to come to Rockingham County with them and she agreed. Her boyfriend began calling her the next day. Then he came there looking for her. He told her parents that he had rented a nearby hotel room so that Lisa and he could discuss their relationship and that he would return her the next day. Instead he took her to Cherry Grove to work on a home improvement project. 

On Sept. 12, he phoned one of Neugent’s friends and claimed that Lisa left the Sea Mist Resort in Cherry Grove where they were staying and took their dog and $1,200 out of his pockets while he was asleep. There was no sign of Neugent at their home in Conway. Management for the home stated that Neugent’s boyfriend had moved out weeks before and there was no sign of Neugent at the home. Neugent’s boyfriend was arrested one month later on narcotics and burglary charges in Georgia but he never appeared on his charges. He also is wanted in South Carolina for child support. Neugent is still considered a missing person as no evidence of foul play was ever uncovered. Her case remains unsolved and open.
