In November 1987, 26-year-old Korrina Malinoski vanished from a plantation near Summerville, South Carolina,,. Following a heated argument with her husband, Stephen, she reportedly left their home late at night to clear her head. The next morning, her employer found her vehicle abandoned at the entrance to the plantation, but Korrina was gone,. Stephen claimed he did not know her whereabouts, and authorities initially suspected she might have left of her own volition to escape their turbulent marriage,,.
Stephen was known for his volatile and dominant personality, and there were unverified claims that his first wife and child had died in a fire—a story for which no official records or death certificates could be found,. Nearly a year after Korrina went missing, the mystery took an even darker turn involving her ten-year-old daughter, Annette,. In October 1988, Annette walked to her bus stop, but when the school bus arrived twenty minutes later, she had disappeared.
A note was found at the bus stop, written in Annette's handwriting, claiming that her mother had returned and she was leaving with her,. This disappearance occurred just one week before a scheduled court hearing regarding Annette's custody, where Korrina's relatives were challenging Stephen’s parental rights,. Although the note suggested a reunion, it raised significant questions, such as why Korrina would only take her daughter and leave her two young sons behind,,.
Following Annette’s disappearance, Korrina’s relatives reported receiving mysterious, whispered phone calls from a girl they believed was Annette. The girl sounded terrified and would abruptly hang up, stating she had to leave because "they" would hear her,. In the years that followed, Stephen relinquished his parental rights to his two sons, who were subsequently adopted.
When the sons grew up and confronted their father about the fate of their mother and sister, Stephen denied any involvement,. However, when asked if he had ever been physically abusive toward Korrina, he provided enigmatic answers, claiming his memory did not reach that far back. Various theories persist, ranging from the suspicion that Stephen was responsible for both disappearances to the idea that Annette was lured away by a kidnapper pretending to have information about her mother,,. Despite an anonymous tip in 2004 and searches of the 6,000-acre plantation, no trace of the two has ever been found, and the case remains unsolved,,.
