While no details were revealed by authorities, a GoFundMe fundraiser created by family states that Hutchinson “was lured to South Carolina with the promise of making money by a woman who claimed to be an entrepreneur, but upon arrival, he quickly figured out it was all a set up. After being taken for his money, he was dropped off at a trap house where his phone was also stolen. In the time leading up to his disappearance there was an altercation with his barbering equipment being stolen as well. When Dave confronted the individual(s) he thought took his belongings, he was met with violence and a gun was pulled. Later that same day he vanished without a trace.”

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Marion Police Department at 843-423-8616 or submit information through the department’s mobile app. Tips may be provided anonymously.
