Horry County police searching for missing Conway teenager

Horry County police are searching for a missing teenager who hasn’t been seen since Friday.

Symaria Shannon, 17, was reported missing from Conway on Friday, according to Lt. Raul Denis with Horry County police.

Shannon’s mother reported her missing when Shannon did not return home as scheduled, Denis said. The mother found her daughter’s car abandoned at a nearby business, he said.

Shannon is believed to be in the company of Ryan Graham, 26, who is currently on probation after serving time for having an inappropriate relationship with Shannon two years ago, Denis said.

Graham currently has an active arrest warrant for violating his probation, Denis said.

Graham and Shannon may be traveling in his car: a silver 2003 Volkeswagon Jetta, with S.C. license plate LTL591.

Shannon is 5 ft. 4 in. tall and weighs about 116 pounds, has brown eyes and black hair, Denis said. Graham is 5 ft. 10 in. tall, 166 pounds, and has multiple tattoos on his face and arms, and one that reads “Death before Dishonor” on his neck, Denis said.

Anyone with information about the missing teen is asked to call police at 843-248-1520 or the tip line at 843-915-8477.
