Krystal Anderson’s family still search for answers 2 years later

It’s now been two years since an Aiken County mom Krystal Anderson went missing outside her home. On Tuesday, Anderson’s family held a vigil to remember her in Columbia.

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says on Aug. 10, at 6:27 p.m. they were dispatched to Sunrise at Parkway, a senior care home about a missing person.

The supervisor told deputies Michael Dane Shirley, 72, was smoking on the patio when he suddenly walked off at 3:45 p.m. and didn’t tell anyone he was leaving.

Shirley has been diagnosed with mental health problems, according to authorities.

Back in April, he went missing and was found a week later at the 1300 block of Greene Street.
