After She Went Missing Her Body Was Found Miles Away From Her Crashed Car
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A few days ago, 21-year-old Sheridan Wahl drove from where she lived in from Tampa, Florida to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina so that she could spend time with her dad.
Although a pretty long trip to make in the car, Sheridan got to Myrtle Beach without a problem, and her mom Kelly last spoke to her on Sunday, September 19th.
That day, Sheridan Facetimed with Kelly at 1 in the afternoon. She was in Myrtle Beach, and she had attempted to rent a scooter, but she was turned away for not having shoes on her at the time.
Over the phone, she said to her mom that she was going to be starting the drive home to Tampa, but Kelly asked her to stay one more night and then drive in the morning.

Kelly tried to get a hold of Sheridan after that Facetime call but to no avail. Her daughter was not getting in touch with her and every single call was sent directly to voicemail.
Taking to Facebook, Kelly made a post asking for help and she also reported Sheridan missing to the police.
“Please help me find my daughter,” Kelly wrote in a Facebook post. “Last seen at 300 S. Ocean in Myrtle Beach.”
“We haven’t heard from her since 1p and her phone is not picking up. She could have been driving back from Myrtle Beach to Tampa. Let let me know if anyone has seen her. Otherwise please pray she comes home to us safely!”

The day after Kelly last spoke to Sheridan, her car was found abandoned and crashed in a cornfield located in Florence County. It had also been completely burned out.
According to a GoFundMe page created by Sheridan’s roommate and friend Elizabeth Echenique, someone else was there at the time of the car crash.
“Witnesses said they saw a white male driving/fleeing the scene,” Elizabeth explained.
One day after Sheridan’s car was found, her body was discovered 10 miles away from the scene of the crash in Pamplico, South Carolina.
At approximately 8:40 in the morning on September 21st, Sheridan was sadly found deceased near the Hanna-Salem Fire Department.
Authorities have not said much about what happened to Sherida, though the Myrtle Beach Police Department noted that “it was determined that Wahl had left our jurisdiction safely.”
In an update Kelly shared, she mentioned, “the case has yet to be closed – and details have not been confirmed.”
Now, there are certainly more questions than answers surrounding her strange death.
Who was the man that witnesses saw leaving Sheridan’s car after the crash? Why was she found so far away from the accident?

“Sheridan was 21-years-old with so much going for her,” Elizabeth wrote on the GoFundMe page she created to help raise money for Sheridan’s funeral.
“Her mother and father are amazing, loving parents who I know to have always supported Sheridan. She was an amazing musician and many times would sit down to make music for fun and relaxation alone and with friends.”
“She loved fashion and was very healthy. She was spontaneous and knew how to make you laugh. A person with a pure heart of gold, always trying to make her friends and family feel loved and accepted.”
“So, what happened to this kind, loving, talented and beautiful young woman?”
