New charges added to suspect in Aiken County missing mom’s case
JACKSON, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - An Aiken man charged with the kidnapping and murder of 30-year-old Jamilla Shanae’ “Millie” Smith is now facing new charges.
According to the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office, 34-year-old Daniel Harmon is now charged with one count of trafficking cocaine of 10 grams or more and one count of trafficking of fentanyl of 14 grams or more.
The charges were added on Friday, according to jail records.
The new drug charges come weeks after Harmon was arrested in the disappearance and murder of his ex-girlfriend Smith.
According to the arrest warrant, Harmon was in possession of around 16 grams of fentanyl and 19 grams of cocaine following the search warrant of the 2023 Dodge Charger.
Smith’s last known location was her house at 425 Old Jackson Highway on the night of Dec. 2.
On Dec. 2, an arrest warrant affidavit details Smith’s last phone call to 911 mentioning her ex-boyfriend allegedly breaking into her house, screaming, and eventually being run over before the end of the call.
On Dec. 3, the affidavit then notes Tina McCraw, Jamilla’s mother, reporting her missing, followed the next day on Dec. 4 with a news release from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office noting both Smith and Harmon as missing.
Dec. 5, the affidavit mentions the Sheriff’s Office finding Harmon with his missing black Dodge Charger at a property on Carpentersville Road in North Augusta.
Then on Dec. 6, the affidavit details an executed search warrant on the Dodge Charger, with suspected blood found inside of the trunk and on parts of a spare tire found inside of the trunk.
On Dec. 23, the affidavit then says deputies received a notification of the completed DNA report, the same day the murder charge was added to Harmon’s case.
The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are working on the case.
