Search ends for ‘endangered’ SC man with medical issues, sheriff says
The search is over for a missing South Carolina man with medical issues who was considered to be in danger.
Zachary North was safe when located in Columbia, the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
North was publicly reported missing by the sheriff’s office late Sunday night. The 32-year-old hadn’t been seen for days, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
North was last seen April 17 at a Winter Creek Road location, according to the release. That’s in the Bowman area of Orangeburg County, not far from Exit 159 on Interstate 26.
There was no word if North was alone when he was last seen. The sheriff’s department did not say if foul play was suspected in North’s disappearance.
North “has medical conditions that concern us,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said in the release.
Further information on his condition was not available, but the sheriff’s office called North “an endangered missing male.”
