Join us in celebrating the Life of Stephen Smith and pushing for answers in his 2015 unsolved homicide. Through this event, we aim to find answers in his death, give a voice to all victims of violence and support Stephen’s Scholarship fund. Stephen is one name of many whose story is left unclear because the system is unable to find the answers or unwilling to share them.
To do the work on our own is an immense burden but together we can make truth known.
The memorial Walk will begin at Gooding Cemetery walk roughly a mile to Stephen’s crime scene where he was found dead July 8th, 2015. We’ll return to the Cemetery for refreshments, a Celebration of Life and call to action so the Voices of these Victims can be heard and our mission visible to media and those with information as to how Stephen died.
Join Us for the Walk In Person on July 12th starting at 8am. The group will stay together under police escort and the walk will take less then 1 hour. Attendees will receive a memorial challenge coin, enjoy some of Stephen’s favorite food as a refreshment after the walk and enjoy a beautiful and uplifting morning.
Join us virtually and receive an embossed letter from Sandy, the challenge coin and we encourage you to walk where you are in memory of Stephen or a Voice in your life that needs to be heard. Share a photo and a story with us to share and be encouraged.
Once you complete the first page of registration you’ll be prompted to choose whether you are going to pick up your challenge coin or if you’d like us to mail it.
Instructions on the Virtual Race format will be emailed on Wednesday, but essentially you’ll walk at your leisure on Saturday or another time.
Prior to the walk, we’ll also share a link to a special podcast that will explain Stephen’s story and how we got to 10 years without answers. To learn the whole story (or at least as much is known) we encourage you to click these links.

Lee Gilley Arraignment Hearing - March 25, 2025
2025-03-25 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | Harris County Court
On Oct. 12, Lee had his first appearance in front of a judge to determine bond. The judge gave him No Bond. But then on Oct. 17 — when Lee was scheduled for his arraignment and after he dumped the public defender he was assigned and hired two criminal defense attorneys — it somehow turned into a bond hearing.
We sent a videographer to cover what was supposed to be an arraignment on November 20, and January 28, but both ended up being a bond modification and hearing to demand autopsy results/indictment respectively.
Lee Gilley’s arraignment is now set for March 25 at 9 a.m. at the Harris County Court in Houston.

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS, by Mandy Matney
Mandy Matney’s highly anticipated book, Blood On Their Hands, was released November 14, 2023 and the paperback will be available November 26, 2024. In this compelling work of investigative journalism, she exposes a network of horrific crimes perpetrated by Alex Murdaugh and others. The book acts as an excoriation of the “good ole boy” systems that enabled this network of criminals to operate. Through her relentless pursuit of truth, Matney delivers a captivating narrative that continues to unfold.

Mandy’s new book is about the challenges journalists face and lessons to overcome them so that public agencies can be held accountable. The Fall of the Murdaugh Dynasty is an example of what’s possible if journalists, public agencies and communities abandon fear and stand up to institutional corruption for victims.

SCVAN Victims Matter Rally
2024-03-21 09:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | South Carolina State House, 1100 Gervais Street, Columbia, SC, 29208, United States
On Thursday, March 21st, the South Carolina Victim Assistance Network (SCVAN), the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (SCCADVASA), elected officials, community partners, victims of crime, and their families and friends will rally at the South Carolina State House to raise awareness about the barriers faced by victims of violent crime throughout the Palmetto State.
Initially spurred by the Bowen Turner rape cases out of Orangeburg which gained national attention in 2022, organizers felt it important to continue this rally as an annual event to advocate for all victims of violent crime.
“Despite having its own “Victims Bill of Rights” in the state constitution, South Carolina continues to fail these victims both in finding justice and in the ability to easily access the help and services they need,” said Sarah Ford, the Legal Director of SCVAN. “Laws don’t mean anything for crime victims unless they are consistently asserted and enforced. It is critical that victims know their rights and are aware of organizations, like ours, who can help in the aftermath of violent crime.”
Individuals will gather for the third annual Victims Matter Rally beginning at 9:00 AM on Thursday, March 21 on the south steps of the South Carolina State House (facing Gervais Street).
