SURFSIDE BEACH, S.C. — The search for a missing South Carolina grandfather and granddaughter is ending on a positive note thanks to a couple who spotted them in Camden.
The Horry County Police Department had initially been searching for them since early Saturday morning following their disappearance on Friday afternoon.
According to the department, a 10-year-old girl and her 70-year-old grandfather had not been seen since 5 p.m. that day at a McDonald's near Surfside Beach.
They also believe the two may be traveling in a vehicle and put out details in hopes that someone would recognize either them or the car.
Fortunately, that's exactly what happened. A couple helped them change a tire near Camden. The good Samaritans, at some point, saw the posts online about the two being missing and that led to both ultimately being found safe and returned to family members.
While the exact location the two were found wasn't provided, the two towns are roughly 120 miles apart.
