A man facing murder and kidnapping charges in the case of Jamilla Shanaé Smith, who was reported missing Dec. 3, is facing additional charges.

Daniel Harmon, 34, of Beech Island, was charged Jan. 12 with one count of trafficking cocaine 10 grams or more but less than 28 grams and trafficking fentanyl 14 grams or more but less than 28 grams, according to jail records.

Capt. Eric Abdullah with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office said Harmon’s new charges are connected to the missing persons investigation and were added as the investigation progressed. 

Harmon is also facing charges of murder, domestic violence and kidnapping in relation to Smith's disappearance. Police have not located Smith's remains.

Smith was reported missing by her mother, Tina McCraw, on Dec.3. Both Smith and Harmon were reported missing and police were looking for a Black Dodge Charger, which was located on Carpentersville Road.

Police said Smith made a 911 call to police and said she was trying to get away from Harmon.

Warrants said Harmon ran over Smith with his car, and blood collected from the Dodge Charger was taken to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for a known DNA sample. 

The family is offering a $10,000 reward in the case, and Harmon has no bond at the Aiken County detention center.

Anyone with information on the case can contact the Aiken County Sheriff's Office at 803-648-6811 or through a tip at aikencountysheriff.net.
