[Part One of Two]
In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell begin sharing their reporting on the Horry County Police Department’s internal affairs investigation into the what went down during the (shockingly corrupt) Scott Spivey case.
In September 2023, 33-year-old Scott Spivey was shot to death on Camp Swamp Road in Loris, South Carolina, by North Myrtle Beach business owner Weldon Boyd and Weldon’s friend Bradley Williams. After calling his mama and his lawyer from the scene, Weldon made another call before police arrived: to Horry County Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland.
On this episode, we break down the investigation within the investigation. It’s not enough that Horry County police repeatedly broke protocol to help protect Weldon from being held accountable for Scott’s death, seasoned investigators on the scene completely mismanaged one of the most basic things to an investigation: the crime scene log.
Was it sloppy police work? Or was it yet another way to help a buddy?
