Remains of 4-year-old Javeayah Harris found in SC reservoir as parents face homicide charges

In Aiken County, South Carolina, partial remains of 4-year-old Javeayah Harris were recovered from Cedar Creek Reservoir after a large multi-agency search. Her parents, Johmarea Harris and Michilae Herring, are charged with homicide by child abuse and destruction and desecration of human remains and have been denied bond; investigators say the girl may have died about a month before she was reported missing, and the pair are due back in court in September.

Trump-Endorsed Wilson Seizes SC GOP Governor Runoff

Pamela Evette in the GOP gubernatorial runoff by more than a two-to-one margin; Cruz also backed Wilson, while Trump had previously endorsed Evette in the primary.

Wilson clinches SC GOP governor nomination in decisive runoff

Alan Wilson won South Carolina’s Republican runoff for governor, defeating Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette 218,321 to 100,123 votes and advancing to face Democrat Jermaine Johnson in the general election. The race featured late Trump endorsement dynamics (a dual endorsement with Wilson after initially backing Evette) and strong backing from Tim Scott, while Evette built support in Myrtle Beach but fell short overall. Wilson ran a steady campaign with running mate Mike Reichenbach and emphasized affordability, safety, and government accountability, while Evette highlighted outside business experience and regional support. Significantly, the contest surfaced issues like road conditions, crime, and a 2023 pay raise controversy surrounding Wilson.)
