Her Murder Uncovered a Twisted Web of Dark, Disturbing Secrets: THE ROSE PETAL MURDER


Listen Later

Originally released in 2023, this episode covers the haunting Rose Petal Murder — the case of a woman found brutally killed in South Carolina, her body chillingly covered in rose petals.

The main suspect, Zachary Hughes, was arrested early in the investigation, but the case remained stalled for years.


We’re reposting this episode with a quick update: as of 2025, the trial has finally progressed. Jury selection delays held things up, but recent court sessions brought forward crucial DNA evidence — and, in a dramatic moment, Hughes confessed during testimony.

Listen to the full breakdown of this disturbing case and catch up on where it stands today.
