The Island Packet reports the sheriff's office announced the suspicion last week and said an investigation is ongoing. Eighteen-year-old Malik Spencer left for school on Dec. 18 when his mother, Michelle Spencer-Ransom, left for work.
Friends and family are offering a $2,000 reward for information that leads to the teen.
But she says the Whale Branch High School senior never made it to school, back home that night or to his part-time job. His abandoned car was found in a rural area days later. Sheriff's Office Capt. Bob Bromage says K-9 and bloodhound teams searched area where the car was found, but didn't find Spencer.
