There was no word if Burdett was alone when he was last seen. The sheriff’s office did not say if foul play was suspected in Burdett’s disappearance.

Burdett frequents areas in both South Carolina and Georgia, according to the release. He’s been known to go to Aiken and North Augusta, as well as Augusta and Columbia County, Georgia, which is on the other side of the Savannah River.

Anyone who has seen Burdett, or has information about him, is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 803-642-1761, CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC or submit an online tip.
