‘Something wasn’t right’: Friend of missing Horry County woman reacts to husband being named person of interest
Nearly a month since
Horry County resident Cyrena Anderson was last seen, her friends and family continue to ask for the public’s help to find her.
Anderson was reported missing on May 19 by her sister, who said she hadn’t heard from her since May 12.
Anderson’s friend, Layla Rule, described her as bubbly and outgoing, but said that description changed once Osborne entered the picture.
“It would make sense to me that he would be a person of interest, because of what I saw since she got married and even since she started dating Danny, that something wasn’t right,” Rule said.
Rule said she wasn’t surprised that Osborne’s status in the investigation changed.
“In the past, there were things that weren’t making sense,” she said. “Where she seemed like she was fine, and then he would make her burn her clothing and eliminate her phone number, things like that.”
Rule said her concern for Anderson only grew following her last interaction with the couple.
“Cyrena looked like she couldn’t move from where she was,” she said. “So it was a little disconcerting. Almost as if she wasn’t allowed to get within a couple feet from where Danny was.”
Despite her concern, Rule said she couldn’t approach Anderson after losing contact with her friend.
“He made her cut off her phone and cut contact with people like us,” Rule said. “Friends from church who, to me, aren’t really threatening. We’re just friends.”
June 12 will mark one month since Anderson was last heard from, a milestone that Rule doesn’t feel ready to accept.
“I hate that we’re inching up on the one-month mark,” Rule said. “[I’m] trying to hold on to hope that with people’s help and with God’s help, we’ll be able to find Cyrena.”
Rule hopes that this update will bring up a sense of urgency and encourage potential witnesses to come forward.
“We just want to keep going back to May 13, 14, 15,” Rule said. “Did I see anything? Did I think something was off? Did somebody look like they’re in trouble?”
