Deceased/Not Found SC - Deidre Reid, 41, driving to Charlotte NC to drop off a man, Pageland, 3 Sep 2021 *Arrest*

[mlhenn]

Sorry, my bad -- thought I was at the last page of the thread when I wasn't!

No worries.
IMO, this case is quite confusing in general!

 

[mlhenn]

So both bedford and the deceased fiance claimed to be the father of the youngster??
Confused...

Missing woman case has connection to Burke County

I agree it’s confusing; the whole case is confusing IMO.

….
It appears Deidre has 3 children; her youngest is a 7 yr old son. Deidre had a fiancé but sadly he is now deceased.
He was not the father of her 7 yr old son; Bedford is the child’s father.

•snipped from the article:
Deidre is the mother of three children. Her fiancé recently died and she had reached out to her 7-year-old son’s father, Emanuel Bedford, to get him more involved in his son’s life.

 

[Bit of hope]

All IMO Do we need to throw all the "old" info into the tombola over and over again, and pull older stuff up, clouding the water? @mlhenn is giving updates and summaries over and over again. Thank you. IMO...as I see it....Deidre was 33 and Emanuel was 20 when she got pregnant with their son, born approx. 2013....Later in live she met a guy (as stated fiancee, by her family) with two daughters...sadly he died in 2021. In his obituary his two daughters were mentioned of course, but also a son with the surname Reid. Deidre is not mentioned in his obituary at all, odd IMO, if she was his fiancee or even lover and the mother of the mentioned son with surname Reid....FB pages of Mr. P shows (older?) pictures of them together, happy, so what was going on at the time he died in June, 2021? Did his family disapprove of the relationship, did they split up just before he died? I don't know but the only thing I can think off is that this son's biological father is Emanuel Bedford, kind of adopted by Mr. P, in a relationship with Deidre and wanted him to see that he is loved, mentioning him in the obituary by the one who wrote it. Don't know what is going on....I really think her family must set some things straight to understand the things that possibly lead up to her becoming missing.

Think this is a case where if you find the vehicle you’ll also find Deidre??

Looking around (searching on the name +augusta), there are signs that POI is not the parenting kind. I suspect he did not want to 'be part of''- meaning help $upport the kids. If she was starting to apply pressure of any kind (like during this trip) he might have seen her disappearance as 'the easy way out.'

Purely a guess. Make sense?

Person of interest in Deidre Reid case arrested in Ga. | wcnc.com

Person of interest arrested in Ga. in month-long disappearance of Deidre Reid from Pageland, S.C.

It is a day the Reid’s have been waiting for—hearing Emanuel Bedford is in custody.

”It put our mind not at ease that Deidre is nowhere to be found but Mr. Bedford is in custody,” he says.

They have more hope now that Bedford will lead investigators to Deidre. Right now—they say he is not giving them anything.

”I just hope Emmanuel tell us where she at whether it’s good or bad,” says Jennifer Reid, Deidre’s sister. “We just want to know where she at.”

Finally! It’s easy to feel a case is not getting attention if not being reported in the news (though we know having a case in the news doesn't ensure progress, either). Anyway, it looks like LE have been looking for this guy. I hope Deidre's family gets the answers they need.

‘Somebody’s heard some talk’: Families pushing for answers in disappearances of 3 women

The article covers the disappearances of three women…one being Deidre.

The Reid family is hoping this latest development leads to answers.

“I just hope Emanuel will tell us where she at, whether it is good or bad. We just want to know where she is at,” said Deidre’s sister, Jennifer Reid.

If you have any information, call your local police department or Crime Stoppers.

Charlotte, where she was last seen with him is not far from Burke County, NC. But driving to Drexel dumping a body would be a bit off, if he wanted to go to Georgia, where he resides.

He turned himself in in Georgia when he heard of the Pageland warrants out on him for suspicion of grand larceny and obstructing justice. So there wasn't that much of chasing him down and actively searching for him if you ask me.

‘We just want to know’: Missing woman’s kin react to Burke County arrest

Family of missing Pageland, SC woman hoping for answers | wcnc.com

The family of a Pageland woman who has been missing for more than a month is speaking out after her son’s father was charged in connection to her disappearance.

Jammie Avery said her sister, Deidre Reid, 41, was last seen on September 3rd when she was supposed to take Emanuel Bedford, the father of her son, to the Greyhound Bus Station in Charlotte.

On Monday, police booked Bedford at the Burke County jail in Georgia on charges of Grand Larceny and Obstructing Justice. He will be extradited to South Carolina.

“We do know that he was the last person to see her and he has all the answers that we need,” said Avery, “So the fact that they got him gives us hope.”

”I hate that he did that to my sister. Got her missing. Everybody makes mistakes, but he’s got to face the music,” says Jennifer Reid, Deidre's sister.

Bedford is a person of interest in connection with her disappearance. James Reid says her kids are hurting the worst right now, especially the youngest, Reid’s 7-year-old she has with Bedford.

"He dreams about his dad standing over her. He’s just petrified right now. He just doesn’t understand why someone who says they love him would take his mother away from him," says J. Reid.

They all want closure, but as eyes tear and voices tremble, James Reid says they need it especially for his nephew.

”You don’t have to do it for me. You don’t have to do it for my siblings. Do it for your son. Give your son closure,” says J. Reid.

“I want to reach out to Emmanuel, his son is hurting. He keeps asking me, ‘Uncle, why would my daddy not call and check on me while my mom is missing. He was the last one to be seen with my mom. Why would he want me to hurt?’” said James Reid.

Wednesday, Pageland police told WBTV their search is still ongoing. The investigation has spanned across three states: South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

“We are still fighting to get Deidre home. The Pageland Police Department has been in touch with us regularly,” added Deidre’s sister, Jamie Avery.

“It’s like a nightmare. It’s like you want to scream but it feels like someone holding a hand over your mouth,” James Reid said.

For now, until Deidre Reid is back home safely, they’re holding on to memories.

“She loves to cook. She cooks for the whole family every Sunday. She loves to clean... She sees one spot, you get yelled at. Got to clean the whole house every day,” said Deidre's daughter, 15 year old Tateyona Patterson. “Support us. Help us find my momma.”

I know this is one of many similar cases, but it doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking. If only kids could be guaranteed to be born to decent humans. (Obviously directing that at the sperm donor.)

This content made me very quiet for a while. Has this family not had enough? This poor children. First Mr. P dies, IMO a person who could have been a father for the little one in the good sense of the word and was already for his two girls. Who obviously love Deidre. This biological "thing" should be very ashamed of himself, letting his son "to rot", without a mother, taking her away and not telling anything. That's inhuman, the lowest of the lowest...... I can only feel disgust. Maybe he has the excuse of having a bad youth himself, but that should only give you a boost and motivation doing it much and much better.
