South Carolina Mom Found Dead, Her 2 Children Found in New Jersey

A South Carolina woman was found dead Friday afternoon after New Jersey State Police requested a welfare check.

Thirty minutes later, the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office said the boys, ages 4 and 9, had been located and were with family in New Jersey.

The county coroner has not yet released the name of the dead woman.

No further information was released about the woman or her death. The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division and the Forensic Services Unit are investigating.
