Sheriff Says Javeayah Harris’ Remains Found in Reservoir
Sheriff Marty Sawyer said investigators recovered a few human remains and expect additional charges against the parents in the child-abuse case.
- On Thursday, Aiken County Sheriff Marty Sawyer confirmed partial remains of 4-year-old Javeayah Harris were recovered in Cedar Creek Reservoir, prompting additional charges against parents Michilae Herring and Johmarea Harris.
- Investigators allege the parents used corrosive chemicals and tools to dissolve the child's body after she died from untreated head injuries, then poured remains into Stumpy Pond on June 8.
- In his 37-year career, Sheriff Sawyer stated he has "never, ever heard of anything so horrific," adding it remains unlikely all of the girl's remains will ever be recovered.
- Both parents were denied bond Thursday as flight risks, facing additional destruction and desecration charges alongside existing homicide by child abuse counts.
- Community members continue to support the family at a makeshift memorial on Hillsboro Street, with around 100 people gathering Tuesday evening to honor the child.
