On March 9th, 2017, in the small town of Georgetown, South Carolina, a devoted family man, Leon Harrison Jr., known as JR, suddenly disappeared. His estranged wife, Brittany Green, reported him missing after he failed to pick up their children. What began as a missing person's case quickly escalated into a murder investigation, uncovering a tangled web of lies, infidelity, and family loyalty.
The Disappearance and Initial Investigation
Brittany Green, JR's former partner and mother of his two children, contacted the Georgetown County Police Department to report him missing. She explained that JR had promised to pick up their kids on February 25th but never arrived. Despite her repeated calls and attempts to find him through the community, no one close to JR had seen or heard from him in two weeks. Brittany initially delayed reporting his disappearance, believing he might have lost his phone or been caught up with work, but as days turned into weeks, her concern grew.
JR Harrison was born and raised in Georgetown, South Carolina. His early life was marked by tragedy, having lost his mother at a young age. He was close to his three brothers and sister and was known for his jokey nature and big personality. After high school, JR enlisted in the military, serving three years in Korea and one year in Iraq. During a visit home between deployments, he met Brittany Green through his cousin. They quickly fell in love, and after JR completed his four years of service, they picked up where they left off. In 2005, Brittany became pregnant with their first child, and they were both excited to start a family. They moved in together, and within a year, Brittany was pregnant with their second child. JR was a devoted father, always putting his children first.
