Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says, a woman's body discovered in an open field by Sheriff’s deputies Wednesday afternoon. The body has been identified as that of a missing Blacksburg woman.
Fowler identified the woman as 43 year-old Amanda Michelle Deaton. She had been reported missing by family members on November 30. Her body was found by detectives around 5:15PM Wednesday, about a half mile off the roadway of Piney Knob Drive in Gaffney.
Fowler said, her body appears to have been there for several days. An autopsy will be performed to assist in determining the cause and manner of Deaton’s death.
