Found Deceased SC - Sheridan Wahl, 21, Myrtle Beach, 19 Sep 2021

Additional tests needed to determine how Sheridan Wahl died

... Wahl had last been seen on Sept. 19, when she was detained by police in Myrtle Beach after being denied service at a rental store for not wearing shoes. ...

Well, this puts a potential new spin on the case. I hadn't heard she had been detained. Detained for what?

That is interesting. The only report I was able locate was the missing persons report filed on Sept 19.

Yes I had the same thought. I expect it is very likely the person who torched the car lives very near to where it was found.


Wow, if accurate that certainly is something. If they escorted her to the city limits (ie ran her out of town) that would explain their statement as they would both know exactly when she left town and would have a vested interest in stressing that she was fine when they released her, even if she wasn't. Also I don't think attempting to rent a scooter without shoes is something you're likely to be detained by police for so there's definitely more to the story that her mom and the police know but we don't.

So did the scooter place call the police on her because she wasn’t wearing shoes?? Wow- would like the call log and police incident report now- anyone able to get them - or is LE buttoned up in MB???

Well, this puts a potential new spin on the case. I hadn't heard she had been detained. Detained for what? However, the Myrtle Beach Police FB page doesn't mention anything about her being detained (or much of anything about her), only that she "left their jurisdiction safely". The city of Myrtle Beach covers 24.5 sq miles (as per MBPD website). HOW would they know she left "safely" - were they following her out of the city limits?

I've been following this case pretty closely (google searches, different social media platforms) and that is the only article I see in which they state she was detained by police. I wonder how that reporter has this information but yet no one else has reported it? Is it possibly a mistake in reporting?

Is it possible she created some sort of disturbance at the scooter rental place when they told her she couldn’t rent a scooter and that’s when police were called?
If she was under the influence in any way I think LE would have taken her in, so maybe she was angry over not seeing dad and exhausted from the drive.
Maybe it was LE that suggested she FaceTime her mom, to calm down.
Maybe MBPD knows she “safely left their jurisdiction” because they escorted her out of it, as more of a courtesy.
That’s a lot of maybe’s there.

This new information suggests to me that perhaps she got belligerent with the rental place employees about not being able to rent a scooter and they called the cops. Do LE walk the beat in MB where the crowds are and just came across her? Without knowing what her usual demeanor was, I'll go out on a limb here, and say she may have been under the influence of something. If the cops had found she was impaired I doubt they would have let her get in her vehicle, unless they thought she was on foot. I am very interested to know whether any CCTV footage shows whether she was alone or not.

I wonder if she abandoned her car and then it was stolen and taken for a joy ride. The path through the corn field looks like it's been there for a while, it's closely trimmed up. I am wondering if who ever stole the car drove it on the path and then hit the ditch, a fire started and it became a torch because of the dried corn and stalks. Very curious about how much gas was in the car.

Still thinking this was some type of mental breakdown and the car incident and her death aren't related. JMO

I've been thinking about different scenarios regarding the circumstances of her death. What if she was actually with someone in her own vehicle and they got into an argument and she got out/was left behind against her will so she thought she'd rent a scooter to get to either her dad's or where she thought her car might be.

When she called her mom about not being able to rent a scooter, she didn't mention anything about her own vehicle, maybe because she never told her mom she was with someone. And maybe didn't mention that her attempts at renting a scooter ended up being an incident with the cops. Is it possible the mom edited the information she provided to LE?

Then somehow, she ended up being back in her vehicle with another person driving, had some kind of medical emergency and the driver panicked and dropped her at the fire station not realizing it wasn't manned 24/7. She wandered around trying to find someone to help her and either expired on the ground at the base of the tower or climbed the tower (bit of a misnomer since it only appears to be about 16-20 feet high) and fell while climbing or lost balance at the top and fell.

The driver had a change of heart, went back to get her in the car, found her dead and panicked. They purposely drove into the cornfield, removed the plates and torched the vehicle to remove any evidence, fingerprints, dna, clothing, etc that they were in there.

I wonder why someone joyriding would remove the plates, though. It's as if they knew SW was dead and they removed the plates to avoid connecting the two events. LE aren't stupid they put it together pretty quickly. Makes me wonder if the person who put the vehicle there was familiar with the area. It also makes me wonder if SW knew the person since her dad lived in MB and she met them during another visit. When was the last time Sheridan was in MB?

 

[branmuffin]

It appears only an hour had elapsed between the phone call with her mom at the scooter rental place and when the car was reported burning. So when LE says she left their jurisdiction 'safely' does that mean they have perimeter cameras around their county and can take images not only of a vehicle but the driver? And has any news agency asked them to back that statement up with proof?

I'm wondering the same thing.

We have 42 hours to look at - from 1:00 PM, Sept 19 to 8:45 AM, Sept 21. The first hour is critical.

1:00 PM, September 19: Sheridan at 303 South Ocean Boulevard

She contacted her mother, mentioned unable to rent scooter/moped due to inappropriate footwear. That seems like a no-brainer, not something to be upset about. She decided to drive home to Florida.​

2:00 PM, September 19: vehicle near Keith Lane, 55 miles away, one hour drive distance

Licence plate missing, VIN unreadable, vehicle badly burned. Bible and book about understanding dreams found with vehicle. Vehicle on route to return to Florida.
​

It almost seems like the only way this happened, with the tight timeline, is that Sheridan staged this and then committed suicide by falling off the backside of the fire station tower. Autopsy is critical in understanding this.

 

[evilwise]

All the info we're getting on this case is heavily filtered so we just don't know.

We don't know what about the video call led her mom to do immediately be concerned and contacting authorities

We don't know exactly how it is that local police can say she safely left town or when they say she left town - and for that matter we're also missing the how and why too

We don't know exactly what the dad means by his posts about mental health.

All this silence is reminding me of the Murdaugh case. Is that just how things are done in South Carolina? Poor Britanee Drexel never stood a chance.

have been wondering the same. How can LE be certain she left the area? Do they have phone data? Was she facetiming/comunicating in some way with mom while the car was moving/leaving the area? Maybe the call started at the scooter rental but the call ended elsewhere? Did mom provide info to support the LE statement? So little info has been released that it's hard to figure out even the basics. This silence seems so odd. I guess it's possible some of the facetime with mom occurred outside the county and possibly closer to where the car was found and her body discovered?

just my opinion

If all the police had was cell phone location data they wouldn't be able to say that she left town safely, just that her phone left town. The police statement is intentionally vague but it has the rehearsed tone of phrasing that has a specific meaning which I am guessing is that she was escorted to the edge of town and sent on her way. The report that she was detained further indicates that to me. I really would like some info on that reporter's source.

If the first time MBPD ever heard of Sheridan Wahl was when her mother called to report her missing, HOW could they definitively state that SW "left their jurisdiction safely" if they had not first had prior contact with her? And why was that contact / incident not documented?

Their statement cannot be true if they never even knew about her until her mother called!

I have searched the MBPD "Daily Bulletin" cases/stats database from 9/12 through 9/22 for "Wahl, Sheridan"and can find nothing. However, I did come across this report - which, of course, may be totally unrelated - but I found interesting due to time and location.

It was only a few hours later that her mom reported her missing. The cops who encountered her might not have even submitted their reports yet. That's not unusual if they aren't making an arrest.

I suppose she could have been on her way home and she wrecked her car and then tried to walk back to MB and died. I’m not sure why the license plate was missing though.

The time of that theft is between Sept 17 and 18 when SW was presumably in Florida. There is a notation in the Sept 19 incident report which I believe is related to SW. Incident report #LW210118355 Missing person.

So the article with the quote "... Wahl had last been seen on Sept. 19, when she was detained by police in Myrtle Beach after being denied service at a rental store for not wearing shoes ..." everyone was commenting about is not there anymore.

It now says "Wahl had last been seen on Sept. 19, when she was denied service at a rental store for not wearing shoes."

This was the first time I saw it so I never saw it say the "when she was detained" part but many commented on it so it must have been there unless no one read the article and just went off that what the original post said. Does anyone know for sure they saw that in the article and if so, weird they removed it?
