In this haunting installment from November 10, 2021, journalist Mandy Matney revisits the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, exposing how South Carolina’s Highway Patrol let the case go cold—and we ask why. Mandy’s new commentary reveals how incompetence blurred into intentional avoidance and how political pressure protected the powerful.
In this episode, we revisit the December 7, 2015 anonymous tip to South Carolina Highway Patrol, examine the December 9, 2015 alternative theory presented by Hampton law enforcement, and the eventual interview six months later which concluded the SCHP investigation into Stephen's brutal death.
Stephen’s story is no longer a rumor whispered down rural roads—it’s a call for accountability.
Lots to cover, so let's dive in... 🥽🦈
