Missing woman's vehicle found, search for her continues, deputies say

According to deputies, Casey Lavonne Young, 44, was last heard from on Monday around 4:30 p.m., supposedly headed to her home in Boiling Springs after work.
  • Casey is approx 5'5" tall and 150 pounds. She has long black braids in her hair.
  • Her vehicle has been found, but there is no word on when it was located.
  • The SCSO asks anyone with information regarding Young's whereabouts to contact Lt. Brandon Letterman at 864-494-0644 or email at bletterman@spartanburgcounty.org.
 
Not much posted on MSM about this case, but there are very informative posts under #findcaseyyoung on Facebook. Hope this case gets more attention given the concerning circumstances.
 
There are a few fb pages devoted to a search for Casey. One does state where the car was found. (near her work, not her home).
Hopefully it appears in msm soon.....

Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office

The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's assistance in attempting to locate a missing person. She is Casey Lavonne Young, 44 years old, 5'05 in height, 150 pounds in weight, long black braids in her hair. She was last heard from on Monday, May 15, 2023, at approximately 4:30 PM after she left work, presumably headed to her residence in Boiling Springs. She is believed to be driving a 2009 white Infinity G-37, SC tag number LCK 688. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Lt. Brandon Letterman either by calling him at (864) 494-0644 or emailing him at bletterman@spartanburgcounty.org. We are aware of some flyers that have been made and circulated to local media outlets that list several of her family members as points of contact, but we would urge tipsters to contact Lt. Letterman first to avoid any confusion or misinformation being disseminated. At present, this agency doesn't have any information that suggests any sort of foul play.

Also a comment (easily found) on the above SCSO Facebook post, stating location.

Wow, they have him on camera except for disposing of her body! That’s some good circumstantial evidence. Since it seems he used her car I wonder if evidence has been found in it also? What about GPS in the car? Nothing mentioned, but could they be waiting for lab or manufacturer info to come back?
 
Investigators say Collins lied to them about what happened on the last night Young was seen. Investigators say Collins told them that he and Young had an argument, and she left the house. Collins claimed to investigators that he hadn’t seen her since, but he stayed home and packed her belongings.

We are now learning that a tipster told police where Young’s vehicle was, located in the parking lot of Windsor Place Apartments, where Collins allegedly dumped it.

Caught on video is Collins getting out of Young’s car with gloves on, wiping down the car, and walking to a nearby dumpster to discard items, according to investigators.

Investigators say Collins did not have his cell phone when he took Young’s car, which investigators say they believe was a plan Collins had in an attempt to cover up what he was doing.

A search warrant for an ADT security system at Collins and Young home found that surveillance videos had been manually deleted from the ADT security system. Investigators say cameras were also unplugged during “crucial times.”

Collins was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and grand larceny.
 
The Seventh Circuit Solicitor’s Office charged Da’Ron Collins with larceny and obstruction of justice concerning the disappearance of 44-year-old Casey Young.

According to the Seventh Circuit Soliticor’s Office, Young and Collins were living together at a residence on Pratt Drive during the time of her disappearance.

An anonymous donor has offered a $10,000 reward that leads to Young’s location and the identification of the person(s) responsible for her disappearance.
 
Casey, if you’re out there, just know that we will not stop looking for you,” her sister Rachel White said.

From the video:
  • Collins' attorney asked for changes in his bond agreement but investigators said he violated his home detention agreement.
  • The State said they found tactical gear, including a SWAT helmet with night vision, and an AR-15 where Collins was living.
  • Attorney for Collins said it does not belong to him and the detention agreement doesn't make sense due to the charges he faces.
  • The judge has not yet made a decision on whether he will change Collins' bond.
