BOWMAN, S.C. — A missing Bowman man a local sheriff said may have been a kidnapping victim has been found safe, authorities said Saturday.

The Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office originally released a statement in the early afternoon on Friday suggesting that investigators were looking for a man who was missing from his home on Cavendish Road.

“This man was reported missing just after midnight in what may be a possible kidnapping incident,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said.

However, the sheriff's office has not responded to requests regarding how he and investigators came to the conclusion that the man may have been kidnapped - or if that ended up being the case.

The department has said it will release more details after it speaks with the previously missing man further.
