Daughter of missing Ga. woman speaks after suspect charged
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A Georgia man is accused of killing a missing woman in South Carolina.
Police in North Myrtle Beach have confirmed Bornold Eberhart is charged in the murder of Kristin Laymon.
According to investigators, Laymon was murdered in September, but her body was discovered in March in DeKalb County.
“It honestly is like the grace of God that I can get through every day,” said Lauren Blaylock, Laymon’s daughter.
North Myrtle Beach Lt. Mike Swarthout said it’s believed Laymon and Eberhart may have had an intimate relationship but were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
Police said Laymon was in North Myrtle Beach with Eberhart back in September when the two had a fight. That’s around the time that investigators believe Laymon was murdered, but Eberhart left South Carolina and drove back to DeKalb County with her body in the car.
