RIDGEVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say that human remains found in a field in Dorchester County have been identified as those of a Ridgeville man reported missing in July.
Local news outlets report that the remains were found Saturday.
Dorchester County Coroner Alice Durr said Monday the remains are those of 61-year-old Marc Godwin Saunders. Authorities won’t know the cause of death until test results are completed.
