MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) -- The search has been suspended for a missing Mount Pleasant woman whose burned vehicle was found on a secluded dirt road last week.

About 75 people searched in the Awendaw area for 30-year-old Dara Watson.

Charleston County Sheriff's Maj. Jim Brady says the search was suspended about 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

Watson's burned sports utility vehicle was found in the Francis Marion Forest on Wednesday. Her mother in Boone, N.C., reported her missing Thursday, saying she was last seen Feb. 6.

Officers who searched Watson's home in Mount Pleasant on Friday found the body of her fiance, 34-year-old David Hedrick. Authorities have not said how Hedrick died.

Brady says investigators don't have any leads on other places where Watson might be.
