Extradition arranged for parents in death of 5-year-old nonverbal daughter

Geordyn Nichole Hayes and John Herb Hayes III waived extradition in Tennessee and will be transported to South Carolina within about 10 days to face charges of unlawfully placing a child at risk or willfully abandoning a child after their 5-year-old nonverbal daughter, Saylor Hayes, was found dead near Hagley Landing in the Waccamaw River at Pawleys Island. Prosecutors allege the couple diverted search efforts and tried to locate Saylor’s Project Lifesaver device; Saylor had been missing, and John Hayes had a 2023 child-abuse case that was dismissed. The pair appeared in Carter County court in Tennessee in handcuffs and waived their rights to counsel while awaiting extradition.

Virginia parents charged after 5-year-old autistic daughter’s body found in SC waters

A Virginia couple, John Herb Hayes III (70) and Geordyn Nichole Hayes (31) of Bristol, were arrested in Tennessee on charges of unlawfully placing a child at risk or willfully abandoning a child after their 5-year-old daughter, Saylor Hayes, who was autistic and nonverbal, disappeared and was later found dead in the waters near Hagley Landing on the Waccamaw River in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. An extensive search involved hundreds of people and multiple agencies. Police say the parents failed to supervise a highly vulnerable child, had been using a Project Lifesaver transmitter since 2024 but removed it before the family left Virginia, and directed search efforts away from the nearby water. They are being held in Tennessee without bond pending extradition; investigators say the case warrants accountability while noting the tragedy for the community.
