CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – Police are asking for help locating a missing woman and her 1-month-old baby.
According to a post on the Horry County Police Department Facebook page, Alexandra Edmonds and the infant were last seen near the DSS building in Conway.
The police report says they were reported missing Saturday by someone Edmonds lives with. The caller told police Edmonds moved in to “get away from a bad situation in Georgia with the infant’s biological father,” the report states.
The report states the mother and baby were dropped off at the DSS building in Conway Friday around 8:30 a.m. to drop off some paperwork. The caller also told police Edmonds and the baby “got a ride from an unknown person at that location to take her to look for a possible job.”
The caller has not heard from the mother and baby since they were dropped off in Conway. The police report states the victim does not have any family or friends in the area, and Edmonds “does have a history with drug use and the infant does have some type of medical issue that has required hospital treatment multiple times since birth.”
Edmonds is 23 years old and is described by police as being 4’11” tall and 140 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call (843) 915-8477.
