Sumter County woman missing for two months

SUMTER COUNTY, SC (WACH) - The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help in locating a 28-year-old Sumter County woman last seen nearly two months ago.

Naomi Collins was last seen on March 4, 2015, in the vicinity of Highway 15 South and Country Springs Drive.

In addition to the lengthy time Collins has been missing, authorities have received unsubstantiated reports that make investigators concerned for her well-being.

Here's her FB - which also talks about Powerball / lottery things.

In fact, her last two posts - March 5th (one day after she was last seen) are references to money.

Interestingly, it seems like even friends may not have realized she was missing until it hit the news.

If you look at her last post, it wasn't until April 28th when she got two notes from people saying to call them.

Even back in 2012 she's posting on news sites about lottery related things: https://www.facebook.com/WLTXNews19/posts/10151230162078999

Collins, who has school-age children, is described as a white female with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5 foot 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 128 pounds.

Bizarrely, her son - or someone using his name and photo -has a MeetMe account claiming to be 19. (Which obviously he's not)

I would ignore this link. I don't know what their purpose is, but it's one of those sites that just plugs people's names in for some reason. My boyfriend recently did a search on an ex of his who has almost no internet presence and has a very unusual name, and he found her name in an almost identical article.

Has anyone considered Human Trafficking. <modsnip>

I also think the money comment was from the person that had something to do with her going missing. This is an attempt to throw people off to think she got some money and just vanished willingly. (My opinion)

Have the police pinged her cell phone location, does anyone have access to her computers or facebook account! If her cell phone could be I located or the last place she used wifi, it would give an approximate location to start a search!

MOD ALERT


Social Networks

Regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking or blog websites: Links may be used to direct posters to view something on a social networking page. But postings on social networking sites are not considered fact; they are rumor.

Copying and pasting, or taking screen caps, directly from these pages is not allowed. Paraphrasing is okay. (Exception: If the Twitter or Facebook post belongs to a verified news station, it may be copied. But a link should still be provided.)

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect.

We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player.

We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!

Although Collins would occasionally drop out of sight for a month or two at a time, she would always keep in touch with her son, who lived with his paternal grandmother. Authorities stated that because of her drug addiction and because it's uncharacteristic of her to be out of contact with her loved ones, they believe she could be in danger. Her case remains unsolved.

‘Keeping the faith’: Missing persons memorial shines bright in Sumter after unveiling ceremony Sunday - The Sumter Item

It’s been almost two years since a Sumter mother began her mission to shine light on a social issue that hit her own home.Her determination, persistence and passion finally came to a crux late …

The memorial site ended up taking nearly two years to complete. The group went from council to council, asking for a piece of property. It wasn’t until April 2021 that Sumter County Council approved a site at 115 N. Harvin St., the location of a former Holocaust memorial that has since moved to a new home.

Fundraisers were held to purchase the light, benches and construction, and it wasn’t until Feb. 17 of this year that the concrete was poured. By the end of the summer, the benches and light were installed.

Several families of missing people from Sumter attended and spoke at the unveiling. Those included family members and friends of Garcia, Willie Hodge Jr., Barbara Nave, Tommy Brailey, Barbara Jenkins, Julia Bean, Naomi Collins, Stacy Lester and Shelton Sanders.
