Police say Hill has medical conditions that require her to take prescription medications, which she does not have with her.

Hill’s father, Larry Dean Roberts, reported her missing and relatives say it is out of character for Hill to remain out of contact with them for a prolonged period of time, according to the sheriff’s department.

Lexington County Sheriff James Meets said Kirkland told deputies that Hill was at his residence when he left for work on March 16.

Later that day, Kirkland told deputies that Hill was not at his residence when he returned home after running errands, and that Hill’s purse and backpack were missing.

Hill’s information has been entered as a missing person on the National Crime Information Center computer database. 

Metts asked anyone with information concerning Hill or her whereabouts to call the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department at 803-785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
