2. The car of a missing woman, Megan Rich, has been located. The Charleston Police Department is still searching for Rich. The department has arrested Brian Baker, 59, for providing false information to investigators regarding Rich's disappearance. He is the father of Rich's child. The department is asking anyone with information about Rich's whereabouts to contact them immediately. (ABC News 4)
3. Charleston County will be spending $4.5 million to fix failing septic systems. The issue is reportedly leaking sewage into county yards and creeks.
