🌹🔪🔍 #RosePetalMurder
Like #Murdaugh and so many other high-profile murder cases we've covered in recent years, this one is CLEARLY coming back...
Investigators, prosecutors and courts have GOT to stop playing so fast and loose in South Carolina... this is costing taxpayers tons of money!
Our @IndyJenn_ dives into details of convicted killer Zachary Hughes' latest filing as he seeks a new trial... one it seems increasingly likely he's going to get.

This story is beyond tragic...
Two beautiful little girls who deserved WAY better than this world gave them.
Kudos to @IndyJenn_ for continuing to dig on the local and state agencies involved in this case... and for chasing and following the truth wherever it may lead.

We broke the story of his state charges months ago. Now former pastor Richard Channing "Chan" Shealy is facing federal charges tied to the alleged production, distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material (or “CSAM”).

Thanks to @JustinBamberg (the people's rep) for supporting yet another installment of #UnsolvedCarolinas, where we take cases that have fallen out of the headlines and bring them back in the hopes someone, somewhere saw something.
Our latest Unsolved comes from Fountain Inn, S.C., with our @IndyJenn_ sharing the story...

I am so incredibly proud of our @erinparrott24 and the work she put into this story. She is such a special person and I know her dad would be exceedingly proud of her.
Let There Be Mom is an incredible organization in @Greenville_SC and its annual fundraiser, "Dine Out for Mom," is Thursday. I don't know @erinparrott24 but I know other families who've been able to gain comfort from LTBM services.

🏛️⚖️ #Murdaugh
If you haven't kept up with the 'Retrial of the Century,' a LOT has happened in recent weeks.
The second trial of accused killer Alex Murdaugh features disputes over cell phone records, a battle over DNA testing, serious questions regarding ballistics and (as we exclusively reported last month) the existence of a secretive grand jury investigation into the missing murder weapons.
All of it comes to a head in Lexington, S.C. tomorrow morning.
For a recap of all the pending issues - and how you can follow the action live tomorrow - our @IndyJenn_ has got you covered.

After hearing witness statements along with arguments from both the defense and prosecution, Judge Jane Merrill told the Court she would take the issue under advisement and issue an order.

⚖️ FITSNews is in Anderson County for Ross Vilardi’s bond hearing. The quadruple-murder defendant is seeking release after a judge suppressed key evidence, halting his trial while prosecutors appeal.
Stay tuned for updates and a full breakdown on @fitsnews as soon as we know the outcome.
Replying to @NancyMace
@NancyMace #ScorchedEarth
Three of the four men accused of various sex-related crimes by South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace last February have now been criminally charged by the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED).
Our @TheWillFolks has the scoop...
fitsnews.com/2026/10/14/nanc…
👀
John Osborne, one of the four men accused of sexual assault by @NancyMace in her famed "scored earth" speech back in February 2025, was booked at 7:22 a.m. EDT this morning at the Charleston County detention center.
No information is available yet regarding the circumstances of his detention, but sources close to the congresswoman tell us his arrest is tied to her allegations.
And that more arrests are coming...

🏛️⚖️ #Vilardi
Some big news in this high-profile 2015 quadruple homicide...
Four days after a South Carolina judge tossed the search warrant leading to his arrest nearly three years ago, Ross Vilardi's attorney - Shaun Kent - has filed a motion seeking his release from jail pending the resolution of the state's appeal of that decision.
Our @TheWillFolks reports on the latest fallout in this Upstate true crime saga...

🏛️⚖️
Four gruesome murders. Two separate trials (one of which has already resulted in a conviction). One fundamental issue that could ultimately decide both proceeedings...
Our @IndyJenn_ on the latest drama surrounding the Vilardi quadruple homicide trials...
fitsnews.com/2026/10/12/vila…
By far one of the best @RealAndyFancher stories yet… “For his crimes against candy crush…” 🤣🤣🤣
🔎 #ChuckWright
Mainstream media thinks this story is over... this story is just beginning.
Our @RealAndyFancher is still digging... searching for the accountability prosecutors left on the vine as they selectively prosecuted one of the most powerful lawmen in South Carolina history.

Two Palmetto State politicians are in hot water - one arrested on a state gun charge and the other pleading guilty to federal fraud charges.
A Lowcountry law enforcement agency and state child welfare officials are facing scrutiny over the latest horrific crime against children in South Carolina.
Finally, the #Murdaugh retrial 🏛️⚖️ is officially a circus again after both defense attorneys and prosecutors flooded the zone this week with court filings.
@IndyJenn_ and @TheWillFolks sift through it all in our latest episode...

🚨
A massive development in the quadruple homicide trial of Ross Vilardi happened today...
A search warrant that helped secure evidence critical to the state's case against Vilardi has been thrown out - putting the trial on hold while the S.C. court of appeals hears arguments on whether the judge's decision should stand.
This is a huge deal not only for Ross Vilardi, but for his wife Amy Vilardi - who was tried separately last year and found guilty of the four murders.
Our @IndyJenn_ breaks it all down...

Amidst ongoing scrutiny over decisions made in the days prior to the deaths of two Lowcountry girls, law enforcement is releasing more information about its involvement in the case.
