SOUTH CAROLINA CHILD MISSING AFTER MOTHER FOUND DEAD
Sunday, May 07, 2017 11:43AM

BENNETTSVILLE, S.C. -- The FBI and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are working together to find an 8-year-old girl who went missing Friday morning after her mother was found dead, according to WPDE.

Malboro County Sheriff Charles Lemon said deputies searched in nearby areas and roads for the missing child, Iyana Lowery, but they had no luck.

Lemon said they have questioned dozens of people in search for responses. Ella Lowery, 36, was found dead in her home on Craig Circle in Bennettsville.

The child's disappearance is now being treated as a kidnapping and abduction case.

The FBI's Child Abduction Unit is involved in the case and it is asking for the public's help.

Iyana is 4 feet 2 inches and weighs about 100 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.

If you have any information on this case, you're asked to call the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office at (843) 479-5605 or CrimeStoppers of the Pee Dee at 888-CRIME-SC. All tipsters will remain anonymous.

ORDER REPRINT OF THIS STORY
MARLBORO COUNTY, S.C.
A coroner announced Tuesday that the body found in a remote area of Marlboro County is that of an 8-year-old girl who had been missing for more than a week.

Through DNA records, Marlboro County Coroner Tim Brown said the body was that of Iyana Lowery, who had been missing since her mother was found dead on May 5, said Marlboro County Sheriff Charles Lemon.

Brown ruled Iyana’s manner of death as a homicide but did not disclose her cause of death.

Lemon said additional charges of murder and armed robbery have been filed against Jejauncey Fernando Harrington, 32, of Bennettsvile, who was already facing charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with the stabbing death of Iyana’s mother, Ella Lowery.

Harrington also had been previously charged with kidnapping and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with Iyana’s disappearance. She was last seen on May 4 at her 36-year-old mother’s home.

Before Harrington’s arrest, Lemon had announced that the reward for information that brought Iyana home had been bumped to $10,000. That same day, Lemon also announced murder charges had been dropped against a different man who the agency initially arrested in connection with Lowery’s slaying.
