Missing woman’s burned SUV found near Charleston

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) — Authorities are searching woods in the Francis Marion National Forest for a missing 30-year-old Mount Pleasant woman after her SUV was found burned nearby.

Dara Watson’s mother says she last saw her daughter Monday in Boone, N.C. Investigators say Watson sent her boss a text message Wednesday and she hasn’t been heard from since.

Authorities said Watson’s Chevrolet Envoy was found Friday night, prompting the search by dozens of officers and police dogs Saturday.
