Police in Horry County neighborhood as search for missing man continues

The search for a missing man last seen early Monday morning is continuing in a Horry County neighborhood.

According to information from the Horry County Police Department, community members in the Azalea Lakes neighborhood off of the U.S. 17 Bypass will see officers in the area Wednesday.

This is in conjunction with the ongoing search for 26-year-old Corey Morrison, who was last seen around 1 a.m. Monday near Murphy’s Law restaurant off the U.S. 17 Bypass near Surfside Beach.
 
Family and friends continue search for 26-year-old man last seen near Myrtle Beach

The search party gathered at the Azalea Lakes Condos entrance where Morrison's car was found crashed in a ditch, according to a flyer.

According to Master Trooper Brian Lee, a vehicle registered in Morrison's name was attempting to turn left at Azalea Lakes Boulevard, but he was driving too fast for the conditions which led to him striking the ditch.

The driver of the vehicle was not located at the time of the collision.

Morrison was reported missing after he didn't show up for work on Monday, and after family and coworkers noticed that his phone was off.
 
There are 9 photos and a 42:25 min video at link. The video shows divers searching one of the retention ponds and gives a good view of the heavily traveled roadway and surrounding area.

It might be a good idea for them to search along the tree line on the opposite side of the highway. If Corey sustained an injury and/or was under the influence, he may have been disoriented. Another possible scenario is that he was struck by a passing vehicle and thrown some distance away from the scene. As such, he could be anywhere around that area. MOO

When troopers found the car, Stead said the airbags were not deployed, but the windshield was busted out. “I guess the water was so high it was going up to his headrest," he said.

  • ...searched that ditch, and divers searched the retention pond next to it.
  • ...flew over the area with a helicopter, and ...searched the wooded area nearby.

I was thinking about this. I recently went into a ditch because I couldn’t see the driveway at night, so I know it can happen to the best of us.

I’m somewhat familiar with the area, having vacationed nearby many times.

*If* he was under the influence, he may have tried to get home by going along the tree line or through backyards, staying in the shadows to avoid being questioned about the wreck. It seems as a marathon runner, he normally would have had no problem getting home, but it was cold and it sounds like he was soaking wet. There are so many ponds in “Azalea Lakes.” I feel so, so bad for his cousin.
 
Interesting comments.

There are additional interesting and IMO informative comments continuously being posted.
 
Here’s a map of the intersection. South Strand Medical Center is within easy walking distance of the crash site. I wonder if Corey may have tried to walk himself to the ER. If so, there are a couple of places he could have been hit by a passerby and thrown into a ditch. I almost refuse to drive on 17 because people drive so fast. It would have been very dark in that area. :-( I wonder if they have thought to search there.

We've been seeing so many weird MP cases where people get setup for a scam, robbery, car-jacking, bad drug deal, etc. I can't help but wonder whether something similar to this happened in Corey's disappearance. I tried mapping the location to find out how far it is away from the site of Corey's accident but I had no luck finding Sheffield Parkway. :oops:

OMG. Sheffield Pkwy doesn’t show up on Google anywhere, but the Socastee Middle School gives a Sheffield Pkwy address. I still had no luck finding the school on Google or Waze, but then I saw another address for the school listed as 151 Esso Dr. To make a long story short, Sheffield Drive shows up on Waze if you search for Esso Drive. Guess where Sheffield Drive is? The intersection before Azalea Lakes, where you turn to go to South Strand Medical Center that I mentioned before! Yikes! I think it’s very possible this could be connected to a carjacking. That means they could be looking in the entirely wrong place for Corey. They need to lean on this guy for info about other attempted carjackings. IMO.

I can’t get the Waze map to link, but if you go there, put in South Strand Medical Center and you’ll see it.

Made an account to post this. Im one of his recent former roomates ( lived together about a year and a half)

Not sure if it helps but

Carjacking to me seems unlikely and maybe would happen only if he didnt leave murphies alone. Corey wouldn't have stopped late night leaving murphs to pick someone up. Maybe something else that hasnt been brought up but he also was besides drinking a sober fella. No weed dope etc.

I thought maybe wildlife could be a cause but the lack of evidence. If his car wasnt reported till 3am Ima wondering if he even made it to the resting place of his vehicle.
He was the kinda guy you could ask damn near anything and hed say yes.

Maybe they have but id be checking his bank records and seeing if I coulf establish an actual route using accumulated video from various storefronts along the road he would have most likely used. At the very least they could sort of track him to a certain point throughout that night.

Miss you man :(

Welcome to WS. I’m so sorry your friend is missing. I was thinking of a possible carjacking at a stoplight. Would that not be possible in your opinion? I’m seeing lots of stoplights between Murphy’s Law and the accident scene.
 
Mikayla Moskov, spokesperson for the Horry County Police Department, said CUE, a missing persons organization out of North Carolina, has a large search team out across Socastee Friday aiding in the search for 26-year-old Corey Morrison. That team includes about a dozen search dogs, she added.
Additionally, officers and members of Horry County Fire Rescue are out on local waterways, with the dive team also in some of the water sources throughout the Azalea Lakes community.

Hey guys. I live in Myrtle Beach and my parents live in the Socastee area, specifically. I see that someone already mentioned the carjacking that occurred the other night but just wanted to reiterate that. It seems there’s been a lot of that — carjackings and robberies and so forth — happening all over Horry County in the last few weeks or so.
