A Georgia man has been detained in North Myrtle Beach in connection to a murder.

On November 8th of last year, the North Myrtle Beach Police Department was contacted by the Duluth Police Department about Kristin Laymon.

The woman had not been seen or heard from since September 22nd of last year. Her last known location was at a resort in North Myrtle Beach.

An investigation led to the arrest of 42-year-old Bornold Eberhart.

Laymon traveled to the city from Georgia with Eberhart and there was a fight between the two.

It is believed that Eberhart murdered Laymon in the early hours of September 23. He then fled the city and drove back to Georgia with her body in the car.

Detectives were able to obtain an arrest warrant for Eberhart who has since been extradited back to North Myrtle Beach.

Eberhart is currently being held in jail under no bond.

The police department is set to hold a conference at 2pm Thursday to answer further questions about the case.
