The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the safe recovery of two missing teenagers, Oscar Davis, 14, and Josiah Woods, 15. They went missing on March 19, prompting community involvement and concern. After a thorough search, the boys were found in an unexpected situation while allegedly attempting to steal a car. Despite the circumstances, the main goal of their safe return has been achieved. Authorities commend the community’s support during the search and highlight the importance of communication and safety among families.
In a twist that has the local community buzzing, the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Thursday that they have successfully located two missing teenagers. The boys, identified as 14-year-old Oscar Davis and 15-year-old Josiah Brian Woods, captured the public’s attention after disappearing just a day earlier.
It all began on the evening of March 19 when Oscar and Josiah were last seen. Parents and friends became increasingly concerned as hours passed without any word from the teens. The Sheriff’s Office quickly stepped in, labeling the boys as runaways and initiated a search to ensure their safety.
Oscar Davis stands at 5’11” and weighs around 140 pounds. When he was last spotted, he was wearing brown pants along with a brown jacket. His friend, Josiah Woods, is slightly shorter at 5’6″ and also weighs close to 140 pounds. He was dressed in a gray hoodie and gray sweatpants during his last known sighting. Concerns began to grow that the two teens were together when they went missing, only heightening the urgency of the search.
As word spread about the missing boys, the community rallied together, showing great concern and support. Local residents were urged to keep an eye out and report any sightings or relevant information to the authorities. Many residents were on high alert, constantly asking around and checking their surroundings for any clues that might help locate the boys safely.
The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office must be commended for their swift action during the search. Their ongoing commitment to keeping the community informed and safe provided a vital role in the days leading up to the boys being found. For any future emergencies, residents are reminded they can always contact authorities by dialing 911 or the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office directly at 803-321-2222.
This incident serves as a valuable reminder for all of us just how quickly things can change. Families are encouraged to keep open lines of communication with their loved ones and ensure that teenagers understand the importance of staying safe and knowing when to reach out for help.
As the community takes a collective sigh of relief knowing the boys are safe, there’s hope for a positive outcome and valuable lessons learned. Oscar and Josiah will now have the opportunity to reflect on the series of events and perhaps share their story with others – a tale of adventure, youthful choices, and the importance of making the right calls.
