TSP #97 - ‘I Was Working... In The Shadows’: What Deputy Police Chief Told Homicide Suspect Weldon Boyd in the 24 Hours after Scott Spivey’s Killing

1 hour 11 minutes

For years, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have wondered how the conversations go when Good Ole Boy police officers try to help keep their friends out of trouble. And for years, the Good Ole Boys have told them that there’s nothing to see here. That these conversations never take place and if you think they do then that’s your misinterpretation of it.

But then a North Carolina woman named Jennifer Spivey Foley hired attorney Mark Tinsley in the pursuit of a justice she KNEW her brother, Scott Spivey, was robbed of after he was killed on a rural side road in Horry County, South Carolina — the same county that would turn its back on Mica Francis less than four months later.

Is this another Alex Murdaugh-style scandal in the making? Why did powerful figures risk their careers for Weldon Boyd, a businessman not even originally from Horry County?

Tune in to this explosive episode and demand accountability! The truth is coming to light, one phone call at a time…

Let's dive in... 🥽🦈
