An Horry County woman is missing. Her husband is a person of interest. What to know about case
A 48-year-old Horry County woman has not been found since she was reported missing more than a month ago. Since then, reports have shown why police labeled her husband as a person of interest.
Horry County Police are asking anyone with information related to the investigation to contact HCPD’s tip line at 843-915-8477.
Here’s what to know about her case:
HCPD posts about missing woman
- Cyrena Anderson was reported missing on May 19 by her sister, who last spoke with her on May 12. She also did not report to work on May 14.
- Anderson was last seen with her husband, Danny Osborne, at their Forestbrook home in the Myrtle Beach area. Osborne allegedly told investigators she gathered her belongings and left in the early morning of May 13.
- Horry County Police said they have found evidence that contradicts Osborne’s account of how Anderson disappeared.
- Investigators believe Osborne, who drives a red Ford F-150, traveled through the Supply and Bolton, North Carolina, communities along Highway 211 on May 15.
Husband named a person of interest
- HCPD identified 47-year-old Osborne as a person of interest, the department said in an email on June 4.
- Osborne was taken into custody by Wilmington, North Carolina, Police Department on May 25 due to warrants accusing Osborne of violating domestic violence protective orders in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The charges are unrelated to Anderson’s case.
- Police say Osborne has ties to both Brunswick and Columbus counties in North Carolina, and records show he spent time in both counties before and after Anderson was reported missing.
Where the case stands one month later
- Police reports show that Osborne gave investigators two different accounts of when he last saw Anderson. In HCPD’s initial missing person’s report, Osborne allegedly told officers his wife left their residence the night of May 17 after they were riding bikes at Myrtle Beach State Park. This contradicts the other account Osborne allegedly gave police about Anderson leaving on May 13.
- A March 17 police report shows officers had previously escorted Anderson to retrieve belongings from the couple’s home after she told the officers she planned to leave Osborne. Anderson told police that “if she said anything, she would go to jail.”
- One of the Brunswick County warrants unrelated to Anderson’s case accuses Osborne of sending messages to the victim’s daughter and neighbor in an attempt to get the order dropped.
- The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office in a post on June 15 told residents they were seeking camera or video footage of Osborne’s red Ford F-150 near Green Swamp Road, Green Swamp Preserve and U.S. Highway 211 on May 14 and 15.
