Search for Marion Key moves into eleventh day and still no leads

web posted July  23, 2005

MERRIWETHER - Marion Key, 74, has been missing since leaving his job, as a Wal-Mart Greeter at the North Augusta store, on the night of July 12, 2005 due to feeling ill. Before leaving he spoke with his wife, Melba Key, and gave a road by road account of his planned route. He was driving a 1993 Red Geo Metro four door hatchback with a trailer hitch on the front of the car. It bore the handicapped license plate number W49579.

The route he said he would take at around 11:00 pm Tuesday July 12 was to leave Wal-Mart in North Augusta and  go up and turn left onto Five Notch Road. From there he was to be traveling to Murrah Road in Edgefield County then onto Mealing Road to Currytown Road.

Edgefield County Sheriff Adell Dobey has gone beyond “the call of duty” according to the family of Mr. Key. “Sheriff Dobey has been so attentive” to the needs of the family, family members said. “Deputies stop by to keep us informed,” and “they will call to tell us when they are coming on duty and then will call again when they get off to let us know someone else is coming on to keep looking.”

Family members stated that doctors have said the outlook for Mr. Key not receiving his medications or dialysis for the past 11 days makes finding him soon extremely important. The Edgefield County Sheriff’s Department is baffled in the disappearance. Mrs. Key said she was holding on to the hope that he was disoriented and could have driven to another town and was being hospitalized and the family had not been notified yet.

Workers in the Law Enforcement Center said Sheriff Dobey has been “worried sick” over the disappearance and that the Sheriff has taken advantage of every resource available to find Mr. Key. Deputies have said at times they are frustrated because their efforts have not been successful. “I know we are doing everything that could possibly be done,” Investigator Chris Aston said.

In one of our conversations with family members today Mrs. Melba Key said they had received a copy of a photo taken of Mr. Key the Saturday before he disappeared. We will post the photo and relay it to all agencies the minute we receive a copy.

Anyone with information, no matter has insignificant that it may be, is asked to call the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Department at 803-637-5337 or 803-278-1625.
