GEORGETOWN, S.C. – The Georgetown County Coroner has made a breakthrough in a long-standing missing person case, successfully identifying the human remains discovered in a wooded area off Kent Road. The remains have been confirmed to belong to Harry Woodruff, III, who was reported missing over three years ago.

Woodruff’s disappearance was reported in early 2020 by his concerned mother. The Georgetown County Coroner’s Office has been tirelessly investigating the case ever since, and this recent identification brings a glimmer of hope to his family and loved ones.

Initially, a sample of the remains was sent to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) for DNA testing. Unfortunately, SLED was unable to provide a positive identification. However, a breakthrough occurred when the sample was sent to a private laboratory, which successfully determined the remains to be those of Harry Woodruff, III.

While the identification offers some closure to the family, it also raises new questions about the circumstances surrounding Woodruff’s disappearance and subsequent death. The cause of his death still remains undetermined, leaving the investigation ongoing.

This news has sparked renewed interest within the local community, who have been following the case closely. It serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting families who have experienced the tragedy of a missing loved one and the significance of continued efforts to solve such cases.

The Georgetown County Coroner’s Office and law enforcement agencies will continue their collaborative efforts to gather more evidence and information to shed light on the circumstances leading to Harry Woodruff, III’s death. The hope is that further investigation will eventually provide the answers his family deserves.

As the community mourns the loss of Harry Woodruff, III, his memory will live on, and the determination to uncover the truth will persist. The Georgetown County Coroner’s Office remains committed to bringing closure to families affected by similar cases, ensuring justice and healing.
