TSP #118 - ‘Squires-Gate’ Children at Gunpoint: Teen Victims & the Sheriff’s Posse Gone Wild
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell shine a light on the viral incident now known as Squires-Gate where kids were held at gunpoint by a cop on Hilton Head Island
When off-duty Beaufort County Sheriff’s Deputy Billy Squires pulled a gun on a group of teens and dragged them across the street, uproar led to silence from officials. Sheriff P.J. Tanner has not addressed the misconduct, and the system seemed more interested in protecting its own than protecting children.
Mandy and Liz walk listeners through the chilling footage, the sheriff’s troubling response, and the tangled web of “good ole boy” networks that have kept the Lowcountry under the grip of unchecked power for decades. But beyond the headlines and hashtags, this episode centers the victims — the terrified teenagers whose trauma has been met with indifference by those sworn to serve and protect.
Plus a little update from Horry County on (38:58) Weldon Boyd....

TSP #117 - Weldon Boyd’s ‘Celebration Call’ to His Co-Shooter in Spivey Case Reveals a Whole Lot + South Carolina Men Push Bill To Control Women
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dissect newly uncovered evidence in the Scott Spivey case—a disturbing “celebration call” between Weldon Boyd and his co-shooter Bradley Williams that raises serious questions about the investigation and South Carolina’s justice system. Mandy and Liz expose the shocking phone call that reveals just how far Boyd—and the good ol' boys—will go to twist the truth and pervert the justice system to protect one of their own.
Mandy also shares horrifying details of SC Senate Bill 323, a dangerous proposal that threatens women’s health and safety under the guise of “protection.” This is not just about a highly contentious politically dividing issue—it’s truly about how corruption and unchecked power continue to endanger lives in South Carolina.
Corruption, coverups, and cruelty—welcome to South Carolina’s good ol’ boy playbook.
But there is hope… This episode is a call to action: for Scott, for women, and for every victim failed by the system.

TSP #116 - Accused Pedo RJ May Digs Himself Into A Deeper Hole + ‘I’m Stressed as F**k’: Bradley Williams Tells Police Why They Shot Scott Spivey
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have seen some dumb litigators in their day, but the person representing former South Carolina Rep. RJ May is by far the biggest idiot. RJ May — who is representing himself in court after being charged with 10 federal counts of distributing child sexual abuse material this past June — filed his very first motion last week after firing his public defense team, who wouldn’t file the motion for him … likely because it’s a really bad idea.
The 32-page handwritten filing accuses the government of misconduct but not for any reason you could guess at. Mandy and Liz talk about RJ May’s attempt at being clever and how they already foresee it blowing up in his face.
Also on the show, after 33-year-old (33:50) Scott Spivey was shot and killed on Sept. 9, 2023, by North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd and his friend Bradley Williams, Horry County Police Department failed to separate both shooters. Hours later, when questioned by investigators and two prosecutors, Bradley Williams appeared nervous and careful about the details he gave. At that point, though, according to the case file, police had already intervened in the investigation to make sure Weldon and Bradley wouldn’t be charged. So why interview them at all?
Mandy and Liz share the recording of Bradley’s interview with police and the shocking moments that show just how little effort was put into investigating Scott’s case.
So much to cover, so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈

TSP #115 - RJ and the Dorkus: Who Is Helping Former SC Legislator RJ May In His Child Sex Crime Case?
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell weren’t surprised to learn last week that former South Carolina Rep. RJ May has asked to be his own lawyer. May — who faces 10 federal charges of distributing child sexual abuse materials — is that kind of guy. Just ask his father, whose post-arrest advice to May was “Humility, Robert John. You’ve got to have humility in all this.”
But is RJ May truly representing himself? Or is he getting behind-the-scenes help from friends? On today’s episode, Mandy and Liz share RJ May’s texts and phone calls from Edgefield County Detention Center, and piece together why they think RJ fired his public defense team in favor of his own skills … as a non-lawyer. Are the same people who stood by RJ after the raid on his house still standing by him now?
PLUS!!! Inspired by shocking actual events... Murdaugh: Death in the Family Premieres October 15th on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+!!! And We Are HERE FOR IT!
You thought you knew the story. Now, step inside the family. Murdaugh Murders Podcast and True Sunlight creator Mandy Matney is an Executive Producer for this eight-episode Hulu limited series—honoring victims while unfolding the emotional truth behind the headlines.

TSP #114 - Weldon Boyd’s Story About Killing Scott Spivey Wasn’t Adding Up So Horry County Police Helped Him with His Math
It’s a surreal week for us at True Sunlight and LUNASHARK. On October 15th, the story that began here as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast will premiere worldwide as Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu and Disney+. Seeing Mallory, Gloria,, Stephen, Maggie and Paul’s stories honored on screen is bittersweet — a reminder of the victims at the heart of all of this. While that project brings global attention to systemic corruption in South Carolina, we remain deeply rooted in the work of uncovering the truth.
Thanks to Liz Farrell’s intrepid reporting, Mandy Matney and Liz and review the 18-minute interview Horry County Police Department had with North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd, who — along with his friend Bradley Williams — shot and killed 33-year-old Scott Spivey on Sept. 9, 2023, in Loris, South Carolina.
Despite inconsistencies between Weldon’s 911 call (that they listened to as a group before Weldon was read his rights) the lead investigator in the case, Alan Jones, showed no interest in getting to the bottom of what actually happened that night with Scott. It is yet another example of Horry County Police doing their best to protect Weldon Boyd from being criminally charged in and civilly liable for Scott’s death.
So much to cover, so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈

TSP #113 - Is Accused Pedophile RJ May Just an Idiot or Is He Also Up to Something?
The podcast delves into the strange legal defense of accused pedophile RJ May, focusing on bizarre claims like multitasking excuses and Wi-Fi photos. Investigative journalists reveal failures within South Carolina’s DSS and expose potential collusion in local law enforcement. The discussion shifts to troubling police handling of the Scott Spivey case, highlighting questionable interview practices that allowed suspects to synchronize their stories. Throughout, there's a call for greater accountability and transparency in the justice system.

TSP #112 - Predators, Pastors & Politicians: Horrifying Revelations in RJ May Court Transcript +JP Miller Loses in Court AGAIN
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share the horrifying details contained in the 105-page federal court transcript from the June 12 detention hearing of the now-former South Carolina House of Representatives legislator — and now-former state Freedom Caucus leader — Robert J. May III. RJ May.
Though the tip about RJ’s alleged activity was delivered on March 31, it would take nearly three months for that tip to make its way to South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson’s Office, another week to make its way to the sheriff’s office and another three months before RJ’s house would be raided.
Mandy and Liz talk about what went down in the hearing and how it’s even more egregious to know how few people in power have spoken out about RJ May’s alleged actions.
Also on the show, Myrtle Beach churchy business bro “pastor” John-Paul Miller was in court again this week for the final frivolous lawsuit he filed against a protester. Spoiler alert: JP lost. Again.
Plus, a look at an opinion piece written about the Scott Spivey killing case and why it’s wrong to conclude that South Carolina’s Stand Your Ground law means it’s OK to shoot and kill anyone so long as you feared for your life at the time.

TSP #111 - A New Trial for Alex Murdaugh? Good Luck with That! + Worst Is Yet to Come for Weldon Boyd’s Co-Shooter
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were pleasantly surprised last week to find out how much power the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office’s packed with its punch back to Alex Murdaugh and his increasingly embarrassing attempts at getting his murder conviction overturned.
Six attorneys at the AG’s office — including Creighton “BCE” Waters himself — compiled a nearly flawless 182-page response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffith’s arguments in favor of an appeal. Let’s just say, BCE and Co. ate and left no crumbs.🍪
But! It's high time for SC Attorney General Alan Wilson to start focusing on getting justice in other cases … like Alex’s unindicted co-conspirators, bringing the Michael Colucci case in front of the grand jury again and re-examining the need for criminal charges in Scott Spivey’s killing.

TSP #110 - Did Months-Long Obsession Have Weldon Boyd Primed for a Fight the Day He Killed Scott Spivey?
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! 🥽🦈

TSP #109 - Did Weldon Boyd Record Video of Scott Spivey Shooting? + SC Attorney General Alan Wilson Has a Reason to Keep People Afraid…
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share part three of their look into how the family of Scott Spivey was treated by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. In April 2024, Prosecutor Heather Weiss tried to explain why she felt there was “insufficient evidence” to charge North Myrtle Beach man Weldon Boyd and his friend Bradley Williams in Scott’s shooting death.
Why would Heather Weiss’ boss, Attorney General Alan Wilson, want to open the door to all-out vigilantism in South Carolina? Why would he want it to be legal for people to chase each other with guns and just be able to say the dead man started it with no meaningful investigation into that claim? Oh right. His brother Julian Wilson co-owns the private equity firm JJE Capital Holdings which owns the state’s biggest weapons and ammunition retailer: Palmetto State Armory.
How else can you explain why Alan’s office continues to sit on their hands and do NOTHING when it comes to taking another look into the appropriateness of criminal charges against Weldon and Bradley?
Also on the show, did Weldon Boyd … record a video of himself killing Scott Spivey? At that April 2024 meeting with prosecutor Heather Weiss, Scott’s family asked her if she was aware of this video. Surprise, surprise she wasn’t. And SLED Agent Nathan Poston assured the family that no such video existed … We are guessing he didn’t look at the evidence either.
