Authorities say they haven't yet identified the body recovered Sunday morning near McColl. Marlboro County Sheriff Charles Lemon says in a statement that an autopsy is planned Monday.
A Bennettsville man remains in the county detention center, charged with murder in the May 5 stabbing of Ella Lowery in that town, located several miles southeast of McColl.
Thirty-two-year-old Jejauncey Fernando Harrington also is charged with kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of Lowery's daughter, Iyana. He's also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime in both the death and disappearance.
It wasn't clear Sunday if Harrington has an attorney.
