Florence County, SC – Authorities are asking for the public’s help to locate a Florence County woman who has been missing for nearly two weeks, prompting renewed concern from investigators Thursday.
According to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office, Angela McKnight Matthews, 47, was last seen on Friday, January 9, 2026, at a campground located on TV Road in Florence County. Deputies say her whereabouts remain unknown, and efforts to locate her have so far been unsuccessful.
Investigators describe Matthews as standing approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing around 200 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. Officials noted that no photograph is currently available, which has added challenges to the search.
The case impacts residents across Florence County, including the Timmonsville area, which sits northeast of Florence, the county seat and a major hub in northeastern South Carolina. Authorities say tips from the public could be critical in determining Matthews’ location.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Florence County Investigators at (843) 665-2121 ext. 80175. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the FCSO “Submit-A-Tip” app, available on both iPhone and Android devices.
Additionally, anonymous tips may be submitted through Crime Stoppers of the Pee Dee by calling (843) 713-TIPS (8477), submitting a web tip at www.peedeeswanted.com, or using the “P3 Tips” app. Officials say information leading to an arrest could qualify for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
Authorities are asking residents who may have been near the TV Road campground area around the time Matthews was last seen to come forward.
