Alexis Ware went missing from Anderson County 1/30/22. She was last seen by her son's father, TJ Patterson, when she dropped her son off with him at a 7-eleven gas station, just 40 minutes from her Greenville, SC apartment.
“I got to get out while I got the chance now. He already killed 2 people years ago in his past early teens which is why he did jail time...”
SC ranks 7th in the nation for domestic violence, up from 23rd in the nation in 2020.
While police have ruled TJ out as a suspect due to his ankle monitor, her family and friends are left wondering how that's possible with her emails and text messages detailing her abuse and fears. TJ is currently out on bond for Attempted Murder, Discharging A firearm Into A Dwelling, Criminal Conspiracy, Obstruction Of Justice, Possession of a Weapon During A Violent Crime, and First-Degree Burglary Charges.
Here is the email Alexis wrote her apartment manager on 1/23/2022 where she details her abuse:
