I can only imagine how many families have been failed by David Owen. He failed us at every turn but we will get Justice For Daniel Reed Smith! He was the world’s worst agent but then again SLED normally only comes in for something that involves officers. In my opinion they never had training in investigations. Just realized we never wrote our statement for Ryan Neil to how we received information on our Sons murder! No, he wasn’t happy that we had the things we had after them not doing their job! Oh, but there’s more, so much more!
Believe me, this was no loss to the lowcountry! ?

Guess they should have called a press conference and let the world know…

Honestly, If you’ve have ever lost a loved one that they had to investigate you would understand much better. I am glad no one else has to endure the pain of trying to make them understand the importance of what people tried to say or had fact about. David Owen thew a box of evidence that pertained to my Son’s murder in his trunk. I would shout it to the world that they are out if I could! We didn’t drink their kool-aid but we have been on both sides! Great article Fits!!!

South Carolina has always been corrupt. It’s its unofficial claim to fame. White people don’t go to jail. And if you’re a white guy with some power? They just look the other way. No, the Justice System in South Carolina has always been for the blacks, gays, drunks and Mexicans. If you weren’t one of them you were guaranteed a good life – free to do whatever you want.

THEN CAME SMART PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

Just film it and show the world and suddenly that redneck, good ole boy crap doesn’t fly and some secrets get uncovered. See, the Murdaugh case was new to them… they hadn’t investigated a case like that in years and so lots of stupid mistakes were made.
