EASTOVER, S.C. — A missing Eastover woman who hadn't been seen since Tuesday has been found in Calhoun County - not far from where her car was found a day before.

Richland County deputies and state agents first put out a Silver Alert for 78-year-old Kiziah Goodwin on Wednesday saying she had not been seen since she left her home in Eastover the day before.  Authorities added that she was also in need of medication. 

On Thursday, the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office announced that Goodwin's vehicle had been found in their jurisdiction near Old Belleville and Preference roads in St. Matthews. 

Calhoun County Sheriff Thomas Summers confirmed on Friday that she had been found alive in a wooded area not too far from where they found her vehicle. He added that, while he didn't know her exact condition, the woman appeared to be OK as she was being taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
