In 1981, three men invaded a private residence and home of "root doctor" Edward "Doc" Harkless. In the next several hours, they murdered him and three other people in the Columbia, S.C. home, leaving two survivors. It appeared Doc was murdered because of a large amount of cash he kept in a locked safe, but did his line of work also have something to do with the crime? We also give an update to Susan Smith's parole hearing that took place in South Carolina this week.

The Missing in America Project helps provide the remains of veterans with honorable burials, but it takes a team of volunteers to do so. We share some of the recent stories from the nonprofit. In 1980, Jeffrey Mays and Ted Wall set out on Jeffrey's boat off the coast of Cape Hatteras. No trace of the men or the boat was ever found, but Jeffrey's family believes he could still be alive. Another Concord, N.C. man disappeared off the coast of North Carolina while on a fishing trip. What happened to Bill Hollingsworth? We also share an update on a missing man found buried on a property in Lowell, N.C. and the possibility that Susan Smith could soon be released on parole in South Carolina.

Earlier that year, in the same town, 1-year-old Leonna Wright went missing from the apartment she lived. While police suspect they know what happened to the young girl, justice has been difficult to obtain in the case.
