Court Documents Reveal Saylor Hayes' Parents' Previous Arrests for Abuse and Neglect, Cruelty to Children
- John Herb Hayes III, 70, and Geordyn Nichole Hayes, 31, waived extradition Thursday, agreeing to return to South Carolina to face charges in the death of their 5-year-old daughter, Saylor Hayes.
- Authorities allege the couple left the nonverbal, autistic child unsupervised within 50 feet of water, and investigators claim they directed search efforts away from the river while knowing her tracking device remained in Virginia.
- Enrolled in the Project Lifesaver program since June 2024, Saylor was not wearing the transmitter when she left the property, despite her parents encouraging the use of tracking technology during the search.
- Following their arrest Tuesday, the couple remains jailed without bond in Tennessee, with a judge ruling Thursday that South Carolina authorities have 10 days to transport the pair back.
- Records indicate Geordyn Hayes faced separate child abuse and neglect charges in Virginia earlier this year, and authorities arrested the parents in Carter County, Tennessee, after receiving information they were traveling toward Marion Branch Road.
