A Community Comes Together
In more pressing news, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department had all of us on edge with the search for a missing elderly woman, Maggie Fogle, who had been reported missing since Thanksgiving Day. The 82-year-old was last seen around 1:30 PM that day near north Ellison Rd, wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. Due to her memory care issues, authorities described her as a “vulnerable adult” and called upon the community to help locate her.
When we hear about someone going missing, our hearts just sink. It’s a situation that none of us want to imagine, especially involving someone so elderly. The sheriff’s department urged anyone who might spot her to immediately call 911 or the direct line at (803) 576-3000. It’s incredible how quickly our community mobilized to help.

Whether it’s a friendly face, an encouraging word, or lending a hand, every bit counts. Just imagine how many people were out there keeping an eye out for Maggie and how wonderful it must have felt when news of her safe return spread!
