They say a concrete bridge spans Beaver Creek, and the south end of the bridge is the Lancaster-Kershaw County line. Dick Hill Road becomes Turquoise Drive on the Kershaw County side of the bridge. The area is very remote, but leaders say the bridge appears to be a gathering spot for people.
Leaders say four members of the fire rescue team went into the body and recovered Izzard’s body.
According to the sheriff’s office its is unknown at this time when , where or how Izzard died but the death is being investigated as a homicide.
“Although the area near the bridge is remote and sparsely populated, there is a lot of traffic on the road by hunters on tracts all along the road and by people apparently partying on the bridge,” said Sheriff Barry Faile. “We hope someone saw something and will call us. We also encourage anyone missing a male family member or acquaintance to let us know.”
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 283-3388.
