MISSING PERSON
Name: Kenneth Eric Jenkins Jr.
Gender: Male   Race: Black
DOB: 11/24/1970   Age: 54
Height: 5ft10in   Weight: 220
Hair: Black   Eyes: Brown
Case: 17S203654
Last Known Location: St Helena Island, SC
Missing Persons As Of: 09/18/2017
On September 18, 2017, family members reported 22-year-old Kenneth Eric Jenkins Jr. of St. Helena Island missing. They said Kenneth hadn’t been seen since the morning two days prior and last spoke to him that same evening when Kenneth said he was on a date in Bluffton.
 
When family members spoke to investigators, they said Kenneth was always accessible whether on his cellphone or social media apps. They said it was not like him to not respond to her which prompted them call to the Sheriff’s Office.

Kenneth, recently having left the Army, was slated to start a new job with a construction company on the 18th. It was a job he never showed up for.

Evidence that was discovered in the early stages of the investigation suggests foul play was involved in Kenneth’s disappearance.

In the days, weeks and even months to follow, investigators interviewed a number of people; sometimes multiple times. Also, investigators searched areas of interest as information came in.

At the time Kenneth was reported missing, he was described as 6’1, 165 lbs., with a high top haircut. Kenneth had two tattoos, one on his chest of the outline of the state of South Carolina with the words “God Bless”, and a tattoo on his arm of his mother’s name, “Donna”.

Kenneth Eric Jenkins Jr. remains missing.

MISSING PERSON
Name: Margarita Elena Gonzalez-Almazan
Gender: Female   Race: Hispanic
DOB: 10/23/1965   Age: 59
Height: 5ft2in   Weight: 115
Hair: Black   Eyes: Brown
Case: 131202482
Last Known Location: Bluffton, SC
Missing Persons As Of: 12/01/2013
On December 1, 2013, following a dispute with her boyfriend, Osman Galicia-Escobedo, 47-year-old Margarita Gonzalez-Almazan was reported missing from her Bluffton residence by family members. 
 
Signs of a struggle were observed in the residence and her mobile telephone was found on the side of the road on U.S. 170 near the Lemon Island Bridge. In addition, Escobedo and Almazan’s vehicles were both missing. Early in the investigation, it was apparent that foul play was involved in Almazan's disappearance
 
According to witnesses, Escobedo was seen in Savannah several hours after Almazan disappeared. The same witnesses observed what appeared to be fingernail scratches on the side of Escobedo’s face. 

Those same witnesses reported that Escobedo was trying to flee the country, as he purchased a ticket at the Savannah Airport to Guatemala. That information was quickly followed up on and it was learned that Escobedo never got on that flight. 

Several days later after Almazan’s disappearance, her vehicle was found near the the Keller Flea Market in Savannah, which was within a few miles of where witnesses reported seeing Escobedo. 

Almazan’s vehicle was processed for forensic evidence, but did not reveal any information that would lead to her or Escobedo’s whereabouts. 

As it is believed the 40-year-old Escobedo traveled back to his home country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation coordinated with authorities in Guatemala to locate Escobedo, but efforts were unsuccessful.

MISSING PERSON
Name: John Lewis Calvert
Gender: Male   Race: Caucasian
DOB: 07/01/0961   Age: 1063
Height: 5ft6in   Weight: 150
Hair: Gray   Eyes: Hazel
Case: 080304523
Last Known Location: Hilton Head Island, SC
Missing Persons As Of: 03/04/2008
Elizabeth Calvert, and her husband, John Calvert, had not been seen or heard from since the previous day, March 3, when, according to witnesses, they had planned to meet with their accountant, Dennis Gerwing, in Sea Pines Center, Hilton Head Island. 
 
Investigators became suspicious that the Calverts may have met with foul play when it was discovered that the couple were to confront Gerwing about their suspicions that he had been embezzling money from the couple’s business accounts. Gerwing was interviewed and confirmed that he had a meeting with the Calverts March 3 at approximately 5:30 pm. He further advised when the meeting was over the Calverts left his office to go to dinner. Gerwing reported no confrontation or hostility during the meeting.
 
Gerwing’s story seemed suspicious because a few hours before the March 3 meeting with John and Elizabeth Calvert, Gerwing purchased three heavyweight 9’x12’ drop cloths from a local hardware store. Associates of Gerwing reported that this was an odd purchase, as Gerwing was not engaged in any project that would require drop cloths. In addition, and within hours after his meeting with the Calverts, Gerwing suffered a laceration to his right hand for which he bought bandages and latex gloves. The laceration had the suspicious appearance of “slide bite,” which is caused as the slide of a semi-automatic pistol travels back and forth during its discharge.

As Gerwing became the focus of the Calverts disappearance and pressure mounted, on March 11, he committed suicide. In a note Gerwing left behind, he admitted to embezzling money from the Calverts and others. There was nothing in the note confirming his involvement in their disappearance nor was there any denial that he was responsible.

John and Elizabeth Calvert remain missing.

MISSING PERSON
Name: Toby Jermel Bing
Gender: Male   Race: Black
DOB: 09/30/1980   Age: 44
Height: 5ft8in   Weight: 155
Hair: Black   Eyes: Brown
Last Known Location: Bluffton, SC
Missing Persons As Of: 02/18/1999
On February 18, 1999, 22-year-old Elshawndrae Devon Jones and 18-year-old Toby Bing were reported missing, after last being seen leaving a family member’s home to meet with unknown subjects in Bluffton.
 
Their disappearance quickly became suspicious, as It was learned by investigators that Jones was involved in sales of illegal drugs and may have been engaged in a drug deal at the time of his and Bing’s disappearance.

Investigators discovered that, shortly before the disappearance, Jones received a telephone call from and was to meet a subject named Sean Sullivan at Sullivan’s residence in Bluffton.

An examination of Sullivan’s Hyon Road residence revealed that violence had occurred on his front porch, as an area with large amount of dried blood was discovered under the porch and the mobile home’s siding showed it had been recently cleaned with a bleach type substance.

In addition, the vehicle driven by Jones and Bing was discovered abandoned in Downtown Savannah. A video of subjects parking Jones’s car was obtained but was of poor quality; no identification could be made from the video.

As the investigation continued, DNA analysis of the blood discovered beneath Sullivan’s front porch was performed and matched the known profile of Toby Bing.

Based on this evidence, investigators charged Sullivan in the murder of Toby Bing. Those charges were later dismissed in the interest of federal prosecution of Sullivan for drug conspiracy.

In the federal trial, testimony was offered that Sullivan and a close associate, Kenneth Campbell, lured Jones and Bing to Sullivan’s Hyon Road residence on February 18 and murdered them. Ultimately, Sullivan and Campbell, who was also tried in federal court on the drug conspiracy, were both convicted.

Sullivan and Campbell are currently serving sentences in federal prison.

Although Jones’s DNA was not found at the crime scene, it is believed he met the same fate as Bing.

The bodies of Jones and Bing have not been recovered.

MISSING PERSON ENDANGERED
Name: Paul Leonard Baker
Gender: Male   Race: Caucasian
DOB: 06/29/1983   Age: 41
Hair: Blonde   Eyes: Blue
Last Known Location: Shell Point residence in Burton, SC
Missing Persons As Of: 03/05/1987

On March 5, 1987, 3-year-old Paul Baker was reported missing from his Shell Point residence by his stepmother, Susan Baker.

She advised deputies that he must have wandered from the residence, while she was under the influence of alcohol/drugs and taking a nap.

Susan Baker’s story was highly suspicious and during the investigation it was learned Paul Baker and his 6-year-old sister were physically abused by her on a regular basis. Ultimately, Susan Baker was charged with the assaults on Baker’s 6-year-old sister and convicted.

There have been reports on the whereabouts of Paul Baker over the years, but none have revealed his remains. Susan Baker and James Baker, the biological father of Paul Baker, eventually moved to Chipley, Florida, where in 2000 a cold case investigation led to charges on both Susan and James Baker for neglect in the disappearance of Paul Baker.

They were extradited to Beaufort County, where the charges were later dismissed. They both returned to Florida. In 2009, a 7-month-old infant was abducted and Florida authorities identified Susan Baker as a likely suspect. The infant was found alive five days later, after being hidden in a box under a bed by Susan Baker. She was charged, convicted and is currently serving time for the infant’s abduction.

Susan Baker remains the person of interest in Paul Baker’s disappearance.

 
Last Seen Wearing: A camouflage shirt, a blue jacket, red pants and gray sneakers.
Distinguishing Characteristics: One of Paul's teeth was pushed into his gum at the time he disappeared. He has scars on his right index finger and on his chin.
Current Age: 41 (as of 01/2025)
