Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to connect the dots in the Scott Spivey shooting case as they impatiently wait for South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster to appoint a special prosecutor to revisit what has turned out to be one of the most corrupt police investigations in state history. 

On this week’s episode: Did shooter Weldon Boyd’s months-long obsession over his ex-fiancé have him in a fighting-mood on the day he and his friend Bradley Williams killed Scott?

In SLED’s download of Bradley’s phone there were 60 screenshots of text messages between Weldon and the mother and grandmother of his son, showing Weldon’s increasing anger over his inability to control and manipulate his former fiancé. Those messages, along with court records, recorded phone calls and social media posts reveal that Weldon wasn’t just momentarily upset about his broken engagement the afternoon of Sept. 9, 2023, when he encountered Scott on Highway 9 in Horry County…

Mandy and Liz share their new timeline on Weldon’s potential state of mind as he tousled with Scott on the road, along with Weldon’s tactical messages, seemingly crafted to create a paper trail for the narrative he wanted everyone around him to believe. 

Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈
