“The community’s assistance is invaluable in cases like this,” a BSO spokesperson said. “We urge anyone who may have seen Carol Boyd or who has information to reach out to us as soon as possible.”
Detective Leonard Charla of the Broward Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation into Boyd’s disappearance. Anyone with information is asked to contact him directly at 954-321-4274. Additionally, tips can be submitted through the BSO non-emergency number at 954-764-HELP (4357).
