The Richland County Coroner has identified remains found a week ago as Adriana Laster, a woman who disappeared over 12 years ago in the county. And investigators already believe they know who killed her.

Coroner Naida Rutherford announced the results of tests conducted over the last week on the remains, which she said positively identified them as Laster. At the same time, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said Elgin Police are obtaining warrants for Freddie Grant, a convicted murderer who is already serving decades in prison for killing a Richland County teen over a decade ago.

Laster's remains were found on Jan. 12 at a sand pit located off Highway Church Road in northeast Richland County. A construction worker at the sand pit site was digging with an excavator that day when he discovered the remains. Deputies who responded to the scene found what appeared to a human legbone and about a five-foot deep grave that was hidden under the sand.

Officers then found plaid and leopard print clothing that was lying with the remains. Richland County crime scene investigators were then called in to process the area. Other human bones were also located.

Laster was last seen in the town of Elgin on Sept. 3, 2011, while on her way to church.

Lott said Laster knew Freddie Grant, who is serving 30 years in prison for killing teenager Gabbiee Swainson. Grant killed Swainson in 2012 and put her body in a grave he dug in northeast Richland County.

Lott said Grant was always the main suspect in Laster's death, and Elgin Police never gave up working on the case.

You haven't spent much time down in the southeast, have you? Our dirt IS sand. We have grass in our yards, but unless you bring in top soil it's sand. You can dig down and it's just like digging at the beach.

I did not know that. I thought he was being lazy. Is it a good idea to bury in the sand when it moves so much with the weather?

No I live in Ohio lol.

Alligators. That expands the choices a little.

Ah, good point. I forgot about the gators! We also have the ubiquitous burial at sea if they can find a boat to take the body out to sea with.

Yes, that is definitely an option to keep in mind as well.

If I were a killer in Florida, swamps would be my go to for sure.

Plus, the gators are hungry and kind of lazy this time of year. Why not help them out?!

I read they only like thier meals highly decomposed. That they hide their prey in an underwater grave until it gets nice and gross

My thoughts exactly.

I see it as a win:win.

Right now the ground is frozen, no bodies of water around, no swamps, no gators. So you kill someone here, you are screwed, unless you take them to a pig farm I guess.

I see it as a win:win.

Very true

‘Boogeyman’ charged in death of SC woman missing for 13 years

Thirteen years ago, Adrianna Laster told witnesses that that her boyfriend Freddie Grant was going to kill her. Then she disappeared, according to warrants for Grant’s arrest filed Thursday in Kershaw County court. The charge against Grant, who who law enforcement officials long suspected of abducting and murdering the mother and Florida native, comes just weeks after remains belonging to Laster were found in a sandpit in Elgin, South Carolina.

It is the second murder connected to Grant, who pleaded guilty in 2013 to abducting and murdering 15-year-old Gabriellia “Gabbiee” Swainson of Richland County. On Feb. 1, the Elgin Police Department charged Grant with two counts of domestic violence, one count of kidnapping and one count of murder in Laster’s death.
