PAGELAND, S.C. — It’s been more than two years since Pageland mom Deidre Reid disappeared.

Family members say Reid drove her son’s father, Emanuel Bedford, to a Charlotte bus station in September 2021 and was never seen again.

Investigators said that on the afternoon Reid disappeared, Bedford was spotted on surveillance video at a York County gas station driving Reid’s car.

Two days later, her car was found partially submerged in a pond. Authorities confirmed blood found inside the SUV came back positive for Reid’s DNA.

In March 2022, Bedford was indicted on charges of murder and kidnapping in Reid’s death. Bedford claimed he’s innocent.

Reid’s remains were never found.

On Friday, the solicitor for the case told Channel 9 he could learn more about a possible trial date in January.
