Case Information
42 year old Lashaunda Spurlock was last seen in Cheraw, South Carolina on April 29, 2024. She disappeared after getting into a red Kia Soul with two unidentified men.
Background
Lashaunda has a learning disability and lives with her mother in Society Hill, South Carolina.
She often left home to go meet up with friends, but would always let her family know where she was going. On the day she disappeared she left home without saying anything to her mother, which is highly unusual for her.
Disappearance
Between 5:00-6:00 pm on April 29, 2024, Lashaunda Spurlock left home and got into a car with two unidentified men in Cheraw, South Carolina.
She was last seen getting into a red or burgundy Kia Soul on Coit Chapman Lane in the Society Hill Community. Shortly after getting into the car her phone was turned off.
Lashaunda never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since.
Investigation
Searches with the help of helicopters and ATVs have been conducted for Lashaunda along the highway near her home, but turned up no additional clues as to her whereabouts.
Lashaunda’s neighbor told authorities the men she left with looked like they might be of Asian descent. Spurlock’s family doesn’t know any of her friends who would fit that description.
It was originally believed that Lashaunda may have been headed to New York to meet a man she had met online, but she may still be in the Carolinas.
On April 23, 2026, human remains were found at an apartment complex in Bennettsville. The Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office says the remains might be Lashaunda.
The remains were handed over to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for DNA testing.
Update: In August 2026, the remains were positively identified as Lashaunda.
Arrest Made In Connection With Lashaunda’s Disappearance
On April 27, 2026, Luke Douglas Jr was arrested and charged with desecration of human remains in connection with Lashaunda’s case.
Investigators believe he was the last person to have been seen with Lashaunda on the night she disappeared.
According to police, Douglas admitted to concealing the victim’s remains in a storage area within the apartment complex where he lived before disposing of the body in the trash can where it was found.
Lt. Hall with the Bennettsville Police Department said the investigation is ongoing and more charges could be filed against Douglas. He is currently being held at the Marlboro County Detention center pending a bond hearing.
