Update: Lexington County Sheriff’s Department says missing boy found safe
The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department Friday afternoon said a 13-year-old boy who went missing overnight, has been found safe and is back with his family.
Bryson Thomas Byrd was only wearing sweat pants and socks, when he went missing in the woods near Sandy Springs Lane in Red Bank. He was not wearing shoes or a shirt, said Capt. Adam Myrick.
His lack of clothing was a concern with the cold temperatures, Myrick said.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division provided a helicopter to help with a search.
