Anderson County deputies are searching for 18-year-old Andarius Burson, who may have developmental issues, after he was last seen Monday near the 500 block of Chickadee Street in Anderson.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, Burson was last seen Monday in the area of Chickadee Street in Anderson.

The sheriff's office has released a physical description to help the public identify Burson on sight: medium build, black hair, brown eyes, and a distinguishing mole on the top of his head. Beyond that, the report notes investigators have not said what he was wearing when he vanished or which way he may have gone from the Chickadee Street area.

Other Recent Upstate Searches
Burson's case follows other recent missing and endangered person searches in Anderson County. In March, detectives searched for 39-year-old Joshua Younger after he was last seen on Breazeale Street in Belton, according to WYFF News 4. Younger was last seen wearing a black hoodie and was possibly barefoot, and the Anderson County Sheriff's Office considered him endangered after he left a message with his ex-wife saying he planned to harm himself.
In a separate case covered elsewhere in the Upstate, Greer police searched for 83-year-old Thomas Anderson, who was last seen near the Greer Walmart Supercenter around 3:30 p.m. on a Monday, driving a silver 1997 Dodge Ram 1500, according to a report carried by Yahoo News. Cameras later spotted his truck in the Lyman area around 4:17 p.m., and police ultimately announced that the search had concluded after Anderson was found safe.
No update has been released on whether Burson has been located. Anyone who spots him or has information is urged to contact deputies directly rather than attempt to approach him.
