15-year-old Chloe Felder was reported missing from her Richland County home on Dec. 27, 2024.

Investigators fear for the safety of a 15-year-old girl who went missing from her Richland County home just two days after Christmas.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department says Chloe Felder was last seen at her home on Walden Place Circle on Dec. 27. That’s off of Spears Creek Church Road between Two Notch Road and Interstate 20 in the Pontiac community.

Investigators believe she left home on foot while wearing a long black coat, black pants, white Nikes and a white bonnet. Felder is 4’11’’ and weighs 95 pounds, the sheriff’s department said.

In a news release, the sheriff’s department said that “Chloe may be in the company of an unknown male and is believed to be in danger.”

Anyone with information on Felder’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 or the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at (803) 576-3000.
