Hoping she is okay and not having any type of disorientation or injury due to the vehicle accident.

The only Susan Rhodes I could find a court record for in that and the neighboring county was for a Susan Hardwick Rhodes, White Female, Born 1954 (ancient minor speeding ticket). https://publicindex.sccourts.org/Edgefield/PublicIndex/PISearch.aspx. If that is her and she's in her early 70's she could have experienced a medical event prior to the accident. https://publicindex.sccourts.org/Edgefield/PublicIndex/PISearch.aspx

What do you think this means? Is foul play suspected?

So neighbors will only speak off camera. Hmm. Susan last seen wearing a bright red shirt and tan pants (said whom) the same person who witnessed her wander into the woods?

How does one even navigate the woods with an arm in a sling?

Sounds like foul play indeed.
Imho

Why in the heck did the 'witness' not check and make sure the woman was all right.

I do think that foul play should be on the list.

Now that authorities have exhausted their search efforts for a woman missing after a North Augusta wreck, what’s next?

The North Augusta Department of Public Safety offered a new update Friday afternoon.

The agency said its investigators along with Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office staff members have been following up on possible locations in Edgefield County where Susan Rhodes could be.

Authorities also requested assistance from South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in checking several bodies of water near where she was last seen.

…,

They found her footprints near a creek, and a surveillance camera recorded her walking through someone’s yard after the crash, but otherwise there’s been no sign of her despite the use of a heat-detecting helicopter and drones

I can recall a number of times that people, injured in an accident (esp head injury) have wandered off ( we have discussed some cases on WS), sometimes found deceased quickly, others much later, some never found. Every once in awhile, found alive. MOO. Hope she is one of the lucky ones.
