Search ends for SC man who hadn’t been seen in over a week, cops say

The search for a missing South Carolina man has ended.

Kelvin Corbin was safely located, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department said Monday. Information about when and where Corbin was found was not available.

Corbin was publicly reported missing May 7 by the sheriff’s department. The 61-year-old had not been seen for more than a week, the sheriff’s department said in a news release.

Prior to Monday’s announcement, Corbin was last seen April 29, on Liliana Drive, according to the release. That’s in Columbia, near North Brickyard Road, not far from Two Notch Road.

There was no word if Corbin was alone when he was last seen, or when he was located. The sheriff’s department did not say if foul play was suspected in Corbin’s disappearance.

While missing, Corbin had not been in touch with family members for days, which is out of character for him, according to the release.

“Therefore, investigators are concerned for his safety,” the sheriff’s department said before he was located.
