Georgetown County deputies are searching for a 57-year-old man reported missing by his family after he abruptly stopped answering their calls last week. Christopher Todd Harms had been keeping in touch with relatives by phone ever since he moved out of his Pawleys Island home, but that contact cut off without warning, according to investigators.
The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man who was reported missing by his family, as reported by Live 5 News. Deputies said Harms stopped communicating with his family on Friday, roughly two weeks after he moved out of his home on Massick Lane in Pawleys Island on October 13. Investigators said he had continued checking in by phone during that stretch before communication suddenly stopped.
Deputies Describe a Heightened Emotional State
Authorities said Harms was reportedly in a heightened emotional state, according to the same report from Live 5 News. No further detail on what prompted that condition has been released by investigators, and the station's coverage does not elaborate on where Harms was last physically seen beyond the description of the vehicle he was driving.
Harms was last seen driving a gray 2017 Toyota Tacoma bearing South Carolina tags 774-DTE, per the station's account. Georgetown County sits along South Carolina's coast, and deputies are asking anyone who spots the truck or has information on Harms's whereabouts to come forward.
How to Help
The public is urged to report any information about Harms's whereabouts to the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office at 843-546-5102, according to Live 5 News. Deputies have not released additional case details beyond Harms's recent movements and his last known vehicle.
