Woman told family she was going to Columbia but they haven’t seen her in a year, cops say

The search for a missing Midlands woman continues a year after she was last seen.

Cheyenne Cambell, 20, was publicly reported missing by the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office Feb. 27, 2024.

Then a teenager, Cambell was reported missing by family members who said she was last seen on Jan. 24, the sheriff’s office said in a 2024 news release.

“We’ve asked you before, but we’re asking again,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said Wednesday in a news release. “But if you would take another look at the photo, take a moment to think if you have seen her or heard something, we would certainly appreciate it.”

Before going missing, the Orangeburg woman told family members she was going to an Airbnb in Columbia to stay with an unknown man, the sheriff’s office said.

Cambell also has ties to Wichita, Kansas and Salisbury, Maryland, according to the release. The sheriff’s office did not say if there is any information indicating that Cambell is in either of those states.

There was no word if foul play is suspected in Cambell’s disappearance.

The sheriff’s office described Cambell as a 5-foot-6, 170-pound woman.

Anyone with information about Cambell is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 803-534-3550, CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC or submit an online tip.

“If you know anything about where she is, call us,” Ravenell said.
