Florida woman found in South Carolina days after car discovered on train tracks

South Carolina authorities on Friday announced they found a 27-year-old Florida woman three days after she went missing in a rural area of Allendale County on Aug. 13.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said Jessica Rapsys, of Jacksonville, had been found “safe” but did not provide further details about where or how authorities were able to locate her.

“Finding Jessica was a team effort,” Allendale County Sheriff James Freeman said in a Friday statement. “We all worked together and did not give up hope.”

Authorities were initially dispatched to the Steel Creek Plantation area after receiving a call about Rapsys’ disappearance.
