SLED creates new tip line for Maylashia Hogg death investigation

BARNWELL, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Agents with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division have created a phone number dedicated to calls about information regarding the death of Maylashia Hogg.

Hogg and her unborn child, Londoyn Charity, were found dead in Barnwell on Feb. 18.

SLED was requested to investigate by the Barnwell Police Department.

Hogg was nine months pregnant and was set to induce her labor on Feb. 13, officials say. According to the Barnwell County Sheriff’s Office, Maylashia was reported missing on Feb. 14.

Her body was found by the Barnwell Police Department in a ditch.

Maylashia’s aunt, Judy Hogg, says she was looking forward to becoming a mom.

“Every time I wake up in the morning, that’s the first thing I think of is Maylashia. Like dang, she gone,” said Judy.

Judy says the loss of her niece brings back a familiar pain.

“That just brought back so many memories. It opened up so many wounds, like losing her was like losing my sister over again. I was living through and is still living through her kids,” said Judy.

“We’re gonna find justice. We’re gonna get them, whoever did it. Just know. We’re gonna get you. We ain’t gonna stop,” said Judy.
