North Myrtle Beach police have now been called in to help with the search for a missing Darlington County man.
Deputies tell us they got a tip from a reliable source that Garland Kelly, 40, was spotted in North Myrtle Beach last Friday. Officers say the tipster knows Kelley and says they had a conversation on the beach.
Deputies have yet to confirm his story with physical evidence or other sightings of Kelly.
Kelly's family says he hasn't been seen in 12 days and they don't believe the tipster's information. "I'm not going to say he guy's lying. I don't know. I just know that Garland Kelly is not here, and when he's here we'll believe, whatever, but not until he's here," said Kelly's niece, Brandy Watford.
The Darlington County Sheriff's Office is working with North Myrtle Beach Police to gather more leads in this investigation.
