Rural area searched for missing woman
Authorities searched rural Anderson County this week for a missing Charleston woman.
Charleston police received a tip Tuesday that the body of Katherine Waring might be along the banks of the Seneca River, said Charles Francis, the department's public information officer.
Anderson County sheriff's deputies searched the area with dogs and a helicopter and ended their search Wednesday afternoon, said Deputy Chief Keith Smith. He said it appeared they received bad information.
Charleston police have an investigator in Anderson County assisting with the search.
Waring, 28, was last seen June 12. Police had information that she may be headed to Greenville. She was not believed to be driving a vehicle.
Police reported that someone other than Waring, in a silver Chevrolet Malibu, had tried to cash one of her checks at a local bank June 15. The car was thought to have Georgia license plates.
Her family reported her missing that same day.
To provide information on Waring's whereabouts, call Charleston police at 577-7434 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

Was the video of the person trying to cash the check every published? Pictures? Anything? This is a very odd case to say the least.
