Missing NC Woman’s Body Found In Car In SC River

GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say the body of a 77-year-old Asheville, N.C., woman missing for two months has been found in her car submerged in the Broad River near Gaffney.

The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reports that workers doing maintenance near a boat landing found Tecora Young’s car Monday morning.

Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says Young drowned after taking a wrong turn in the dark and driving off the boat ramp.

Young was in the area at a party for her aunt. Cousin Annie Houey says Young was familiar with the roads around the boat landing, but did not like to drive at night.
